can it test a custom battery pack of 16 AA Nicad batteries?

It can test only the individual cells, not the 16 wired together in series. This unit is the very best at what it does, but testing multiple cells together is not in its job description.

Yes. It has 9 test positions, as follows: Button Cell & Zinc Air 1.3V -1.5V, AAA-N & Ni-Cad 1.5V, AA-C-D 1.5V, 22.5V, 15V, 12V, 9V, Photo 6V, Lithium 3V

No. This battery tester will test 1.5V Button Cells up to 22.5V Lantern Cells. It will not test car batteries. -kd5-

Absolutely, I test mine a couple times a year. This tester works best when connected to the battery's post.

DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM. This is a NiCad battery. NiCads are a thing of the past. The best thing that you can do is send your old battery module to a re-cell company and have them re-cell it with nickel metal hydride (NiMh) cells. The NiMh cells hold more energy, last longer and are not as subject to "outgassing" as NiCad cells. (This is probably why your module failed.) Texas Battery and Provisional Battery (in Atlanta) are two that I use. You can Google "battery module recell companies" to find one near you.This is cheaper and easier in the long run...and you get your ORIGINAL battery pack back so you know that it fits.Hope this helps.

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..

Not with the stock battery. You can get a 2s lipo and use the low voltage buzzer with it. If you want to know if it will fit. It depends on how big your voltage tester/buzzer is.

Yes you can. The P118 charger will handle both Nicad and Lithium batteries.

How would I go about conducting such a test? I don't think it would be worth the time and/or effort to do it.I also have a pair of these batteries by Philips, and a pair of Rayovacs, and two devices that use them, and I don't find any noticeable difference in performance.

A voltage meter won't tell you whether the batteries meet manufacturer specs and supply full power under load. You need a battery tester like the ZTS to do that. I just received an order of Duracells that failed that test - the second such order of CR 123 batteries from Amazon that did so. The first order was Energizer brand. I learned of the deficiency the hard way when my security system started sending off false alarms after I installed the batteries. I talked to a battery shop specialist, who said that happens when they resell factory rejects.

Not sure, I would contact Battery Tender Company,I'm sure they could advise you.

My hobby shop had a small portable tester that would plug up to several different size batteries. I personally don't own one, and don't test in the field.

it may not cause i think the batteries are specific to the power tool you are using. you can try the mfg website to get the accurate resposne

Yes, both the lithium-ion and NiCad 18 volt batteries will work with this tool

Software runs in the system tray that will allow you to periodically "self test" the battery. I do this on a monthly basis.

You could check with the manufacturer, but I believe this was designed for lead acid batteries only.

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