Dood Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I reckon it's a useful piece of kit - just a shame that so many stupid people post comments on You Tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I guess users of 18V (or more) gear will have to remove and test each battery individually? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhysP Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Why not just buy a multimeter? You can use them for 1000s of other things as well as testing batteries & a good basic one can be bought for less than a tenner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doddy Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 What's wrong with just licking the battery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just want to know how much *ehem* 'power' is left in their battery. A meter showing them a percentage and time left will be more meaningful to them. Yep, I have a maplin one that I grabbed for a 5er that I chuck in my guitar box - and leave my expensive unit at home! I see the point over the 18v thing - I wonder if the unit can handle that?
