It says it takes InchAAA batteries can you get those easily at the local store? My last tester the batteries were more expensive than the tester!

Hi there. The batteries are ordinary AAA batteries that you can buy at a local store (in Australia, at least). I don't know where the "inch" came from in the description because the batteries are about 1.75 inches long.

This is a great tester. It takes a normal AAA battery- approx. 1.75 inch. If they don't have them at your local stores, you're not in the US.

I didn't do any scientific measurement. My opnion is therefore subjecive. It appears that these batteries do last. This key is to get them fresh. Batteries do lose power with time if you let them sit. Some lithium button batteries that I purchased on e-bay were two years old and lasted about a week in my guitar tuner, which is way too short. I blame it on the age of the batteries. Those 9 volt lithium batteries don't seem to have this issue. We'll see in a few years.

Hi R.W., this tester will certainly tell you if smaller batteries are in good shape but it is kind of over kill as it works by resistance testing. Kind of like plugging a toaster onto your battery. It will draw a lot of juice off the battery in just one test with smaller batteries so if they are weak you will know it fast and they will likely need a recharge afterward. I use it for 4 and 8 D size batteries for starting large diesel engines. I would suggest a lighter amp load tester for what you are doing. Something around a 50 amp range. Hope this helps.

I have no idea,that is why Lowes and Home Depot do not stock them on their shelves. You can buy fromChamberlain,and get a fresh battery. It takes less than 5 days to get it sent to your home..

Hello, I don't know, your best bet (probably) would be to email them and ask...seems there a jillion batteries out there.

I've not had to replace the battery. Perhaps the manufacturer could give you an answer. Locally we have a store that advertised they have any kind of battery needed so if I did need one I'd try that store first. They might have economical batteries and would be a local access if you needed more batteries in the future . Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Thanks but I went the opposite way and bought the adaptor. The big test will come when I travel to use the scope and see how many batteries I burn through. Then it will also become a choice between rechargeable batteries and the tank.My big concern was I have heard a lot of complaints about the tank have problems.Again thanks for the input.

I replaced the battery on ours with one from a local hobby shop and ours works much better now. I didn't have the exact same thing you are describing, though. The battery that ships with the product is not great quality.

I had done a search for generic battery but came up with nothing. I didn't try battery stores however and that may be an option. You'd need to take the battery to the store for comparison.

It takes 3 AAA batteries. You could get them from any retail or online store.

Sorry, but this tester is for "bare" batteries rather than multi-cell battery packs. It's the best tester there is for what it does, but isn't designed to test dedicated camera battery packs and the like.

I have been asked to respond to this question by Amazon. I love these batteries as they last longer than those you purchase in the store. I reviewed each product and it appears to be the same product in a different package. I hope this helps.

Sorry, haven't a clue. I've not even tried mine, just wanted something to test batteries before purchasing them unnecessarily.

You can purchase batteries here on Amazon or the following locations: Radio Shack, Best Buy, Batteries +, or any battery supply house.I would suggest that you do a Google search for the size / type of battery you need followed by your zip code. This will give you local options as well as internet suppliers.Enjoy - Mark

I tried to do the best match of the battery that I purchase. I would ask my local battery store as well. I am pleased with the battery that I purchased.
