I don't know about you guys, but I have a metric ton of AAA and AA batteries laying around that still have SOME juice in them , but how much I don't know, whats worse is my wife dumped a few of them back in with the good ( new ) battery supply.
can anyone recommend a good battery tester for alkaline batteries, like to test each single battery
bonus question, will battery testers measure rechargeable batteries to see what kind of charging capacity they still have ???
don,t know the brand name but we got a small hand held one at HF. It is yellow and has a meter easy to read. It adjusts to the battery size with a slide out arm.
for readout, does it just have lights , digital readout or Panel Meter ??
any standard multi meter will work.
crazy cheap and a myriad of uses
Princess Auto
panel meter like a volt meter
Menards or Lowes have a hang on the wall storage with built in tester. Works for us for short term
Just a reminder...a guy I work with had his Surefire flashlight quit and found he had 10 batteries dead. I ask when purchased, if he tested them and re-tested them. Answer, around 2 years ago and never tested them at all. Everyone make sure you check yours in the near future while we can.
Be ready now, you won't have that chance later.
I always wondered if other folks were anal that checked batteries when the were new to make sure they didn't get ripped off
