Is this a tester or the real deal?

this is the genuine perfume. you can tell by the crown cap. a tester will not have a cap of any kind. one of my favorite perfumes ever. :)

Having bought one I can say I can't tell if it works or not. So no I would not.

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.

These are the worst tests ever. I highly recommend retesting with a known brand. Good luck.

I am not an expert on this and not part of the testing crew, I am just another customer all I can say is that I have been using it and I like it. According to me, it is a good product.

Yes, these are genuine. You are right to ask, though... there are reputable stores that have sold fake versions of these (doubtless they were unaware of their lack of authenticity). I bought one from a popular online tech store at the same time I bought this one. The Amazon one was real, the other was not. I've spent the past 3 hours going over the details... there is no doubt about this unit's authenticity. (and it performs much better than the fake!)

It looks genuine to me and working very well. I cannot tell the difference between the two.

The tester is on all the time. There is a test button that you can see as a yellow circle near the tip in the picture. The tip will glow whenever that button is held down or it is near a strong enough voltage field.

Yes all you need to test this bad boy comes with, the only thing it doesn't have is up to date error codes, sinple google search solved it for me

I am not buying the hype of expensive test kits. I have always used the cheaper kits and have never had any issues. There are instances where you need to be as close as possible to an exact reading but I've found close enough is good enough. Go cheaper in this case.

I have only had the chance to use this tester 2 times now. It seems to work quite well if you can find what the codes mean. As far as I know this should work on many different types of main boards. One of the neat features of this is that also serves as a voltage meter. I could see this product going much further if the developer would continue their work. This website can be very helpful. Pick the bios type from the side. http://www.bioscentral.com/

Yes, this would be an excellent use for this tool. Be sure to check a known power source such as a receptacle to ensure the tester is working properly.

M_ENGLE and DUSTY comments contradicts what Bob commented...I want to use this device for load testing and confirm the condition of any battery......who am i to be believe now, because am about to place order.

I remember something in the instructions about that. Believe it means the test is malfunctioning. There was a sort of reset option, but if it's been going on for 9 days, sounds like the tester is defunct. Time to swap out for a new one!

Some say it is original, some say it is not. It really depends on which supplier you choose. Click on "15 New" under the "See new product details" link to select the supplier. Suppliers that advertise to be "Authorized Arduino" distributors should be authentic.

Don't know but probably not reliably. It would depend on the amplitude of the signals the tester uses to execute the tests and the nature of the circuit that the cap is in. There are lots of comments/blogs out there about this tester if you google around.
