Yes, to get accurate remaining battery potential, it must be measured under load.

I'm only repeating what I've heard from an electrician from another list, but a multi meter only tests the resting voltage, whereby a battery tester applies a resistance that could significantly drop

It needs power to beep and vibrate which doesn't happen if you test a battery withlittle or no power. James B .

The Multi meter unit has two probes you touch to each end of the battery, Push a Button and the unit speaks the voltage. A full charged battery might say 1.5 volts DC.  A Battery that is low

What would it give you instead? Pam.

last I knew, it’s on CD. Pam.

I don’t know if this is the same battery tester I saw many years ago but it makes sense that a battery would power the unit. In the one I saw, an oscilator sounds and you can tell from the pitch of

Yeah… this sounds useful! And since it’d vibrate too, yay! John

I'd also prefer one that doesn't use beep tones so I don't have to rely on my hearing which isn't great. John

Um, so you have to use batteries to power the tester to test batteries? Weird... John

Its available in the equivalent of a podcast. The site lists the download as an MP3 file and you canalso download a version in the Library of Congress format. Gene

Oh I was just surprised it’d be on disk and not a podcast. Huh. I thought they were dead a long time ago. Thanks for that link! John

This battery tester is from the Blind Mice Mega Mall and I've owned it for about 4 or 5 years. It's about $79 which is a little pricey, but it works like a

I also wanted to let you know that It is best for me at least for now, to keep a limited basic cable package for just local broadcast networks because over the air antennas do not work in my area. I

If something doesn't sound plausible, checking is in order. See this page: http://www.newsreelmag.org/ The magazine is offered on multiple formats, as a download, on tape and in

Disk? Like its not a podcast or something? Lol John

As far as I know, they are now on disk. Pam.

Good to know that, Dave.
