          The design and price were very attractive. We ordered it to help keep track of old batteries, and partially used ones. Unfortunately it doesn't work most of the time. Stay away from this junk!

          Doesn't work

          I did not want to believe the previews reviewers and decided to order one of this units. Well, the tester doesn't work using the arm. I haven't tried the 9 volt side so I can't tell.

          Comments about Rolls BT301 Pocket Battery Tester:

          I purchased two of these and one was bad from the start. The other worked fantastically and I was working through a pile of "iffy" batteries on my desk. Then it quit registering.
          I returned both for two more.
          These two both work when using the 9v test port on the side, but the swinging arm for testing all other battery types has a poor connection. If it is twisted and pushed just right, it works occasionally.
          I plan to keep these two units and bypass the swing arm. The tester itself seems to be OK.

          • Too light for paperweight

          Comments about Rolls BT301 Pocket Battery Tester:

          I was delighted to find such an inexpensive battery tester and ordered two.
          One never worked, the other worked like a charm. I was rapidly sorting through the pile of iffy batteries on my desk. Suddenly they all registered completely dead.
          I tried it on known good batteries and realized the tester was no longer working.

          I returned the original two for two others. Neither works consistently. I believe the problem is in the connection of the swing-arm part of the mechanism. I'm basing this on the fact that the 9-volt tester on the side has continued to work well while the swing-arm (for AAA-D)sometimes registers and sometimes doesn't.

          I plan to take one apart and by-pass this arm. It will do away with some of the ease of use, but it should still work.
