am I buying the 8 contact version or the 10 contact version of ZTS Multi Battery Tester - ZTS MBT-1? two different pictures of product

That 8-contact tester is what ZTS introduced in 1998, long obsolete http://www.shutterbug.com/content/we-tried-itbrzts-multi-battery-testerAs to what you're buying -- better ask whoever's selling it to figure that out.

Yeah, the picture is incorrect. That is certainly not the MBT-1. The MBT-1 has 10 contacts. Also if you're interested in testing 9v Lithium batteries, be aware that those don't test on the MBT-1....you'lll need the BATU9VL2. It is the same as the MBT-1 with the difference being it tests Lithium 9V instead of the Lithium 3v.

My MBT-1, that I purchased, tests for 10 battery types. They have pictures of two versions. The 8-battery type looks like an older version. Need to make sure which one they are selling.

I've never seen the exact tester shown here. I've looked on the ZTS website as well as websites for several vendors they recommend. All are showing the MBT-1 as having ten contacts (or contact pairs for a 9v battery). My MBT-1 that I've had for several years has 10 contacts. The ZTS website does not show anything that looks like the picture on Amazon. I would suggest you call the ZTS folks and see if they can help you out. Hopefully they know what this picture is and can clarify the situation.

If it's the MBT-1 it is has 10 contacts if it's new production. Make sure it's not an older version

mkb, the one I bought is a 10 contact with a wide range of small battery sizes.

As of 2013, the current production model of the ZTS MBT-1 has TWELVE (12) test stations and can test a larger range of 3v lithium coin cells. The generic picture shown by Amazon when you first search for ZTS MBT-1 is correct, but the pictures on the order page are now showing the 10-station version, and that is what I received (and returned) as of 10/25/2013.

I received mine in Nov 2014 and it has 12 contacts. The 6V Alkaline was moved to the bottom left beside the 12V Alkaline. Above them are two Lithium contacts (one for L91, the other for L92). In the place of the 6V Alkaline that was moved a new Lithium 3V CR1216-CR1632 was added. There are 5 rows of contact with two contacts in each of the first 3 rows and 3 contact in each of the last two rows.

Please note that the original eight (8) contact version of the ZTS MBT-1 tests most common batteries (AAA, AA, C, D, N, 9v, Li Coin type batteries, CR123, NiCd & NiMH, A76, etc). It does not test the specialty 3.6v Li-Ion rechargeables (18500, 18650, etc). If you can find one, it is still a great tester and you save a few dollars - Why pay extra for something you don't need.

I ordered from the link and mine arrived yesterday. The factory label says "48-11-2402 M12 Red Lithium Battery Pack."So the photo was wrong but the description was correct.Surprisingly, even though the battery is double the weight of the standard battery, my new impact driver feels lighter with the XC battery. My wife agrees. It must be that the tool is better balanced. It IS top heavy with the standard battery.P.S. I see that they have changed the photo to the correct battery.

I just received the battery today and it is identical to the one that came in my ZTE Valet. I noticed it was 2 years older (the manufacturing date) than the one that came in my phone. Seems to be charging ok. They say to charge it for 8 hours before using. Came 80% charged.

try a different store, it's a common battery for both transceivers and the correct battery can be determined by the size of the used one, if you don't have a batt in hand to use for size, use the internet for the latest cross over to common number based on the batt number you have in hand or in the book............... it's no big deal or i'd look up the sizes I am using I bought last week. write again if you really have probs!!

I've used this tester on both 12v and 6v batteries but I've never seen an 8v battery. This is the best tester I've ever used and is well worth the price.

This is version 2, with the new plug. You can spot it easily.. it looks like a cordless phone battery connector. The old style battery had 2 contacts.

Current battery model is LI-90B, the 90B had three consecutive contacts, the 42 had 1 separate contact and two contacts together. The answer is no.

There is an OEM configuration difference in the batteries between the two platforms. Strange isn't it?

I never heard back from this vendor. I kept the 800 mAh batteries that they sent because returning them would have been more of a waste of my time for a $10 purchase. They are reasonable for the price, but misrepresented by this vendor. Don't expect them to send the 1000 mAh version.

They do appear to be the new version (3.7). At first the connections seemed good on my charger for my V911. The removal of the batt from said charger however did not go so well. Still had one batt literally come apart in my hand (?) Buy em, but expect to lose at least one and don't use an old version charger. Good luck

I don't know about that one. I haven't needed other batteries Try searching the number on the battery. Or the same seller from your phone.

The 9 cell is a little bit larger than the 6 cell and it is supposed to provide extra usage time (longer life) than a 6 cell... but this battery is a complete failure. I have been working in IT for over 10 years and I can tell you, you do not want this battery. Look at the reviews... when you have so many who rate it at a 1 - star, they are telling you, Do not buy this product.

ZS7 uses the bcg10pp but older version of this battery will not work since the ZS7 requires firmware 1.3 on the battery otherwise it will turn off.. as of the battery itself it doesnt indicate which version it has. Most of the vendor now should carry the version 1.3 battery. Panasonic makes it extremely confusing to buyer because they should simply create another sku so consumer would not be confuse as of which battery is suitable for their camera.

My battery says 10.8 on it, so that is what I would trust. I think that it has something to do with multiplications with how many cells there are, yada yada...I did a lot of research when I was making my purchase, and I probably used to know the technical answer, but I've forgotten. But the other thing I learned was that the voltage doesn't really matter that much, as long as you're moving down rather than up (obviously if you move up you could blow something out). My old battery, the one that came with the laptop, was 14.4, and now I have a 10.8...which has worked flawlessly with no problems. See, my old battery was 14.4v, 2600 mAH...which, you multiply those two numbers to actually find an approximation of how long the charge will last vs. other batteries. This battery is 10.8v, but has 5200mAH, so it actually lasts a lot longer than my old one. So: I highly recommend it. It works perfectly, has a quite long battery life, and even after much abuse by me (accidentally letting it drain all the way down over 100 times) it STILL has a pretty good battery life.

The MINI-MBT is not the best choice for watch batteries. It has positions to test 3v Lithium CR123 and CR2 and Li-Ion 18500,17650,18650, & RCR123A. I love the tester but you should get the MBT-1 if you need to test watch batteries and also the larger coin cell batteries in your auto remote. Get the ZT-MBT1 kit, which comes with a nice case to protect the tester as well.
