Just slightly bigger than a deck of cards, this reliable and accurate tester gives you a definitive indication of how much juice there is in your battery. Don't buy something cheaper that just measures voltage. This is a serious test instrument that assesses how much POWER is in the battery. The soft case for this tester is something you should get for protection. Depending on how you look for it, the case can be hard to find on this site. Just type in ZTS in the site's search box, and the case will be included in what you're shown.

I've experienced mixed results. I feel this device is a lot more dependable to test alkaline and not some much testing lithium batteries. On the lithium testing you may need to test 5 to 10 times each battery to get a definitive result and also use your multi-meter for a second reading.

Comments about ZTS Mini-MBT Multi Battery Tester:
I heard great things about this battery tester from Ken Rockwell ([@]), and what he had to say about this tool is TRUE! I discovered a couple of nearly discharged batteries around my place that a regular battery tester simply could not detect! I'm going back to visit his site again, and see what other treasures he has to recommend. Maybe the best thing about this tester is that is MADE IN THE USA!

Comments about ZTS Mini-MBT Multi Battery Tester:
Having one of my own, I purchased this item for a friend who is a medical doctor. Naturally, he has various kinds of gear requiring batteries which he needs to be sure will work properly. This tester is small and light enough that it could easily go into a medical bag. The unit is unusual: not only does it test under a load which is much more accurate, it also gives an actual percentage of remaining battery life so you can get more use out of partially used batteries.

Comments about ZTS Mini-MBT Multi Battery Tester:
This battery tester is way more accurate than any I've had before. After receiving the tester, I did some comparisons with two old testers I've been using. The old testers both indicated a full charge on many batteries I tested, whereas the ZTS would indicate 80% or 60%. This higher degree of accuracy is especially useful when testing recharable batteries after they've been charged to find the ones that are starting to go bad. I also had a wireless mouse that was acting weird after installing what I thought were all new batteries. The ZTS test found one of the four batteries at 60%, and my old testers both indicated that all four had a full charge. This is a great tool!

Comments about ZTS Mini-MBT Multi Battery Tester:
We use a ton of batteries in our 20+ wireless mics on campus. I discovered the built in battery gauge on the wireless mics to be very inacurate (same battery would measure differently each time it was tested). We tryed a voltage battery tester with poor results. When we switched to this tester I am now confident on how long the batteries will last. I'm guessing we will recoup the low cost of this tester in a matter of weeks.

I bought this after a lot of research turned up nothing comparable, and I was not disappointed. This thing is sturdy like a little brick, simple enough for my three-year old to use, and consistent. At some point I'll be buying the larger model so that I can test coin cells as well.

Comments about ZTS Mini-MBT Multi Battery Tester:
This tester uses a pulse chage and did a great job of helping me weed out my bad rechargeables from the ones that can hold a full charge. the testers that do not use a pulse chage (i.e. those that do not require a battery to operate the unit) are pretty much useless as they tell you voltage.

Comments about ZTS Mini-MBT Multi Battery Tester:
This is the tester that I have been looking for for years. The cheaper testers would never really tell me how weak the battery was. This one lets me sort out good, not so good, and the batteries to throw away. As a doctor my lab equipment needs 6 strong batteries, and 1 weak one shuts down the entire machine. Now I know which one is the culprit and can toss it out without tossing all 6.

Buying unseen always leaves a big ? This unit is everything as advertised. There isnt a battery at home or work that hasnt been tested.

Comments about ZTS Mini-MBT Multi Battery Tester:
I'd been meaning to get one of these for a long time. The pile of good batteries had somehow merged with the pile of used batteries - now I know which ones to recycle. My one gripe is that they should have reversed the polarity - I think it would be easier to touch the negative terminal of of most batteries to the terminal on the tester itself.

This has instantly saved our company money. We go through a ton of batteries. We used to simply throw them away at the end of the night. We now save them all and go through them quickly with this easy to use tool to determine how much battery life is left. We are clearly saving at least 50% on batteries now, by making certain they are fully drained before desposing of them.

Comments about ZTS Mini-MBT Multi Battery Tester:
I own three nikon external flashes that all use AA batteries and I had trouble sorting out all of my rechargeables until now. This battery tester has come in handy even for my disposables. Now I know exactly when to get rid of them and when they still have juice.

Comments about ZTS Mini-MBT Multi Battery Tester:
So far it has given me a reading on every battery I have checked. I like how easy it is to use and the many types of batteries you can check with it. I keep it in my work truck because I have a lot of test equipment and I never know if the batteries are good. I am thinking about getting an other one for home.

Comments about ZTS Mini-MBT Multi Battery Tester:
I checked lots of AA, both recharge and alkaline with four different checkers. This one would read the battery differently every time -- sometimes dead, next time full and everything inbetween on the same cell = useless. Perhaps I got a dud as others have better reviews.

Good for sorting batteries that have been sitting a while. Wish it had a few more result oriented functions. Some batteries wouldn't illuminate any level of charge, yet worked when I put them in a flashlight. For the price, it does what I need.

this tester quickly eliminates the mystery surrounding the life expectancy of all my "old" batteries and makes the decision to discard and replace a snap. Highly recommended.
