## Description

The ZTS Mini Multi-Battery Tester (Mini-MBT) provides a comprehensive means of testing more than 15 battery types. The Mini-MBT's microprocessor-based design makes battery testing simple - using a patented, high accuracy pulse load test. After a fully automatic test cycle, percentage of remaining battery capacity is indicated on the LED bar display.Battery types are clearly labeled next to appropriate contacts. There are no settings, and test results are easy to understand. Its small size makes it ideal for the gadget bag, toolbox, or home utility drawer. Negative test lead/probe conveniently stores in seam at side. Advantage of Pulse Load Technology:Battery performance is very important in today's electronic devices. The Mini-MBT computes the battery's actual remaining power capacity using a 2-second pulse load test. This pulse load simulates the real power demand that batteries experience in a high drain electronic device. So battery performance is measured, not just voltage. The load is automatically disconnected, so testing will not harm or drain the battery.TESTING CAPABILITY:1.2v NiMH / NiCd rechargeable [AA, AAA, C, D]1.5v alkaline [AA, AAA, C, D, N]3v cylindrical lithium [CR123, CR2]3.6v Li-Ion rechargeable [18500, 17650, 18650, RCR123A]9v alkaline & carbon zincFEATURES:Power (internal): 4 AAA batteriesDisplay: 5 LEDs - colors green, yellow, redPulse Load: magnitude varies according to battery typeOperation: microprocessor-controlled test cycleTest duration: approx. 2 secondsContact terminals: solid brass, nickel-platedDimensions: 4 x 2.5 x 0.75 inchesWeight: approx. 3 oz.

Review: A great, versatile, load-tester - The ability to specifically test both 1.5V Alkaline and 1.2V NiCd/NiMH (as well as 9V button and 3/3.6V Lithium) makes this a very handy unit to use. Granted, other general-purpose testers can usually do 1.2V batters the same as 1.5V Alkaline, however, they normally just provide a slightly lower reading. I would not bother using any battery tester unless it tests under load, like this one does, unless you just need a few AA's for a remote or something very light. Both the above reasons- testing over 15 battery types and under loading conditions, are why I gave a 5-star rating. I use 4 NiMH cells to power this tester, and seem to get the same results as if Alkaline ones were used. I have enough rechargeable that I can swap out all four with freshly charged ones, and test the set that was in it, to make sure my readings stay accurate. Given that it has a testing lead, I would have liked to see a continuity test or bulb/fuse checking function. I have a multimeter I use for this, so it is not that big of a deal. Also, I do not like the power auto-off alone: I think pressing the button on the unit should also turn it off immediately. The only difficulty I have had and a related trick I would suggest is this: Try putting the test lead on the center of the negative end of a battery, and if the result is abnormally low, try placing it more toward the outer edge to get a truer results. I think sometimes through lots of use and maybe due to the internal chemistry of some batteries, the conduction is not always consistent across the entire negative side. I own one I have used for a few years, and just purchased one as a holiday gift for a loved one- Highly rated, and a better value that those <$5 testers where the terminals tarnish and no load testing is performed.
Review: hi-tech tester for a low price. - This small inexpensive US-made battery tester does some real magic (not just measuring static voltage or current, but some more complex interplay w/ some internal calculations), to give you a reliable picture of battery state of charge. Even though small (AAA) thru large (D) batteries connect to the same point, the tester is somehow able to discern the true state of charge, despite the battery size difference. It can also test 9v, NiMH, NiCD, and Lithium. Unlike another reviewer, I have found its readings to be highly "repeatable" if you hold the battery and test probe steadily and firmly. I agree with another reviewer that it would be nicer if it had 10 LEDs instead of 5, i.e. if it gave you state of charge in increments of 10% instead of 20%, but nevertheless it is really very useful just as it is. If you need to test button cells and coin cells, then get the larger brother to this model, the ZTS MBT-1, but otherwise, this mini one will do for most people.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It Seems to Work Mostly Well, but is Not Always Consistent
*by P***T on October 25, 2022*

I went back and forth between this model and the "big brother" model of the same brand (which is literally double the price). For the money, this unit does its job, but seems overpriced given that it excludes all button/coin batteries. I rationalized that, for 50 bucks more, just to be able to evaluate button/coin batteries (which can be had for pennies), it didn't make sense to spend the extra $$. If in doubt, the button/coin batteries could be replaced 50x over if even in doubt, rather than spending the extra $$ to test them. That being said, this is FAR more accurate and useful than non-load-applying testers. Anyone using this unit (or any similar load unit) should be aware that the first time testing a battery, you may get a reading of say, 80%, only to then get a reading of 60% a few seconds later. This is due to the fact that an actual load is being placed on the tested battery, which may show stronger than it is the first test, but give a more true value in subsequent tests within the next few minutes. A battery showing 40% or less is basically dead. Even something showing 60% is going to be of little use (IMHO, based upon my having gone through an entire box of batteries I'd saved "just in case" there was some use left in them). But having a battery cycle between 100% - 80% is not unusual (unless it's brand new, in which case, you'd expect it to show 100% regardless). The only reason I knocked off a star was because I have received a few completely inconsistent readings (100% one time, 60% the next, then back to 100%). Best I can tell, it wasn't because of probe placement, but I can't be sure if I'm being honest. But that really shouldn't affect the load measurement. I'm really disappointed that for 45 bucks this thing doesn't do any button/coin batteries, but I'm just not going to shell out 100 bucks just to add that functionality (along with a few lesser-known battery sizes). I'll keep it because it does far better than most of the junk on the market, but would be nice if it were more consistent, or the price covered more common batteries, to include at least the most common button/coins.
