why is it called "Coin Battery Tester", what do coins have to do with it?

Coin batteries are the small "coin" shaped batteries such as calculator batteries or hearing aid batteries. This means that this tester not only handles all sizes of flashlight batteries but also all the tiny flat disc types as well.

the battery is round and flat like a coin. it's also in the auto door opener of your car keys, and other powered small items. rhb

It's another way of referring to button Batteries, which are shaped like coins. Stuff like thin remotes/small toys, etc.

It could possibly mean that you are using the wrong type of battery. (li-ion vs NIMH)

My batteries tend to die from sitting in between uses more than while using. I buy mine. From the dollar store to save money.

The battery checker comes with the kit. don't know what p/n is. On the transmitter, the red light that shows the correction level will blink every 4-5 secondswhen the battery is low.

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.

It uses one of those quarter-sized lithium batteries. Sorry not sure what they're really called.

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.

That's why I bought one. I use it to check my batteries in my solar system. Works great. You need to disconnect each battery and check them individually.

I cannot exactly answer your question with confidence, but I can say this...I wanted to do something similar and found this device to be worthless. The only positive thing I can say about it was that it came with two fairly standard sized coin batteries, so I still had them when I threw it away.

No, it only tests the battery, but it is the most accurate tester to detect bad cell

Because it will no longer hold the charge of devices connected to it, when the power goes out. Also pretty much all of these units perform a self test on its own either once a week or month. If the unit starts beeping after the self test and the replace battery indicator is red, you will no its time.

I believe the ZTS Mini Battery Tester - ZTS MINI-MBT will test it. It will test a 3 volt lithium photo battery. Note that it is expensive, BUT it is a pulse tester and NOT a voltage tester. Bottom Line is it very good and works great.

It has settings for different kinds of batteries: the "High Performance AGMs" like the Optimas, and what they call "Standard Flooded and AGM" batteries, which I figure must mean regular old parts store lead-acid batteries.The thing is actually kinda cool (and expensive) because it is both a charger and a maintainer.

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.

It evaluates a batteries condition, in PLACE of a load tester, with better accuracy. So, yes, same function, LIKE a load tester.
