Can I test a 9 volt battery?

Yes. There are two ways to do it, either by the jaws or the contacts on the side. Just make sure you open the jaws if using the contact points on the side.

Yeah, it has two little nifty holes on the back of the tester specifically for 9 volts.

Should be able to test 6 volt battery one at a time, not all connected together.

you can't test amps like that. only volts. and you should be getting anywhere from 12 to 14 volts on a fully charged battery..

I have personally used it to test 480 volts. I am sure it would indicate 1000 volts, however I would not use this tool to test 1000 volts. Proper high voltage safety protective clothing and proper training is required.

You can test the voltage with DCV 20, but that only tell you voltage.To test the a battery you fully charge it. The you test it with a battery draw tester to see if the battery is any good .that's a different tester.

Yes. Any 9 volt battery will work just fine. As a matter of fact, this is an ideal application for a rechargeable, since the meter is a low power device and is used only intermittently, it should last a good long time. Rechargeable batteries generally hold less of a charge than the single use kind and have to be replaced (recharged) more often than single use batteries, which can be annoying in some circumstances.

These are good units. I have bought 4 sets and have served me well. They should work with a 9volt battery. Battery will only last about 8 hours max. I have not done it on these units but on all my others I have I do not see why it would not work. If you want I can try it and see. Let me know if you want me too. phh57@att.net

not sure, i use to turn on/off a 9volt battery. Im not technically an electronic master. Sorry man.

Not sure I use if for a solar power pack. Measure voltage of battery and the draw from the battery

Yes, I tested them with a 9V battery. If you run 3 9V batteries in series you could keep them going but that would get expensive. 9x3=24 volts

As someone else mentioned in the battery test mode the Green (good), yellow (questionable/low) and red (bad) LED won't work, as those are meant for primary Standard primary batteries (AAA, AA, 9volt D and the like). I would just use the DC Voltage setting to test batteries other than standard primary batteries.

Yes, it will. Make sure the battery (in the tester) is fresh, and the electrodes on the tester are clean.

There is a setting for 12volts but I wouldn't use this tester for a car battery. I would would either use a load tester or take it to an auto parts store or garage and have them test it.

I believe it would work but Im not a %100 sure. I have powered mine with many different kinds of batteries. A 9volt works just fine for an hour or two.

You can check voltage , but u can't do a load test to confirm battery condition !

Yes it does. There are two chrome buttons (contacts) on the left front for testing 9volt batteries. You also must set the dial to 9V. Hope that helps.

Of course. It even has two terminals (+ & -) on the surface for testing 9-V batteries.
