Description

Stop guessing which cells in the drawer still have life in them. Hold a battery against the tester's contacts and the display reads its charge straight away, so you can tell a fresh cell from a flat one in a couple of seconds. Sort a whole handful in a minute, put the dead ones in the recycling box, and stop mixing tired batteries back in with the good ones.

It reads the common household sizes from AA and AAA through to 9V, which covers remotes, torches, smoke alarms, toys, game controllers and wall clocks. The tester takes the small amount of power it needs from the battery being tested, so there is nothing to charge and no cell of its own to go flat in a drawer. Pick it up after six months and it works exactly as it did the day you put it away.

Checking first heads off the small frustrations: the remote that dies mid-film, the torch that fades during a power cut, the controller that quits at the wrong moment. It also stops you leaving a nearly flat cell sitting in a device where it can leak over time. The unit is pocket sized, light and readable at a glance, so it lives happily in a kitchen drawer, a toolbox or a camera bag.
