What battery types will the battery tester test? Which battery types cannot be tested on this unit? Thanks.

It tests all the batteries that it is designed to hold. AAA, AA, C, D, and 9V. 9V has a special spot on the tester. The others are all similar voltage so they use the spring loaded testing arm.

My battery tester works fine. Making sure the battery is laying on the flat metal area than pushing it against the metal wire-like strip should give you a read out. If no action, request a replacement.

I'm not sure as I have only tested standard batteries but I think lithium can be tested as well.

Need more information such as battery type, (wet cell, deep cell, etc.) brand, voltage, and amp hours rating before that question can be answered.

Yes. I use Eneloop batts, and they work perfectly. The unit has a setting for battery type (NiHM, alkaline, or lithium) which calibrates the built-in battery level indicator.

I have not used this particular product. To test batteries you need to know more than just what the voltage is, you have to know the voltage drop of the battery when a load is supplied. If your talking about a car battery places like Autozone will check your battery for free.http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/electric/dcex6.html

From what I can see, it looks like it will test the same variety of batteries, but just a heads up on button cell batteries, on the BAT-200 it will test the 1.5v button cell correctly. But it looks like the 3v button cell battery will register but the needle is maxed out and not reading battery is good, it's just pegged out, I'm just waiting for one of my 3v button cell's to get weak so I can test it and compare results with a volt/ohm meter.

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

The power light on the right side of the unit "should" indicate the battery status of the unit, not the battery being tested. So, here's a thought, try putting "fresh" batteries in the unit, then run your test again.

This item does not require batteries to work. The tester uses the charge in the battery being tested (if the tester doesn't light up, the battery is dead).

The battery tester works for my size 10 batteries, and depending on the brands I buy some are 1.45V and others 1.40V.

I didn't see the battery load test described with this meter, nor do I see you that function on the meter. Would like to have that as I understand that gives you a realistic reading how a battery performs under load, not just a voltage output.

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.

Yes. Rechargeables are slightly lower voltage. Hence you need a true "battery tester". This is a batter tester. Not a voltage meter.

I haven't had a chance to test the tester out. There are sites on the internet you can check on and I tried to find some instructions on this - sorry.

Hook it up to the battery you want to test and select test. The tester will test the battery ans tell you if it is good or bad,

No, it does not test watch batteries! There are other specific testers for watch batteries.
