Summary: Very unhappy with this battery checker - vendor would not allow return with refund
Comment: This battery checker does not perform as advertised. The problem is that there are supposed to be 18 gradients of battery life, with 1-5 for POOR, 6-10 for FAIR and 11-18 for GOOD. But all these levels appear to be mainly for eyewash, since this tester will show most used batteries to have a full 18 level of GOOD. For anyone wanting a simple "go or no go" tester, perhaps this will do the job. But if you expect true sensitivity to accurately check batteries having various remaining charges, then this item will probably disappoint you.
Since it cost $18.99 with shipping, I decided to request return of the tester to the vendor, Battery Superstore. Aside from not being sensitive as advertised, it would not give readings for 2 of 12 battery sizes advertised. After receiving my request, the customer service department at Battery Superstore wrote back stating that although they were sorry I did not like the charger, they would charge me a 10% restocking fee plus the $6.00 shipping charge, and I would pay the return shipping. I wrote once more to question the charges for returning defective merchandise, and they responded that the charger was good, but they would kindly waive the $1.20 restocking fee. Even with this. however, I would still be losing most of my money on the unlucky purchase, so I decided to keep the tester. I will be very careful not to purchase from the Battery Superstore in the future.

Summary: Handy Tester
Comment: With so many products using so many diffferent types of batteries today, this handy little tool is so convenient for checking all my battery needs. It is small, compact and easy to use.

Summary: Everything you want it to do.
Comment: I have a tub of 100's of batteries of different sizes, brands, etc, and all I wanted was something exactly like this to tell me which ones were good or not, and how much juice the still had in them. This does it. Why is this so hard to find at a local bricks & mortar store...I have no idea! This is inexpensive and simple. Perfect!

Summary: Basically a "GO - NO GO" Tester
Comment: Construction wise it is okay.
Layout, design, ease of use is great.
Simple to use and looks like it would last a long time.
I do not have it in front of me at the moment (I'm at work).
There are several LCD bars ranging from dead to poor, to weak, to good.
(Again I believe)...Each range has about 4 or 5 bars within a group or 16 to 20 bars total.
Problem is with a fully charged "rechargable" the checker shows or highlight in the middle of the 'good'. I also tested a battery that had been in a wall clock for over a year (clock was dead stopped) it read at top end of the weak or about 2-3 marks below the fully charged NiMH just now charged.
I suspect a brand new alkaline may be able to get a little higher than middle of the 'good' range.
Bottom line:
If you are using rechargables, do not buy the T-333.
If you are using alkaline, you will be able to detect brand new and not brand new. There may be a subtle difference between used and dead.
The best tester for rechargable batteries which I got the same day as T-333 is the ZTS MINI BATTERY TESTER.
The best tester/charger which I also got the same day is the La Crosse BC900.
Also the following is what I've read, have not verified myself yet.
There are two types of NiMH batteries.
Very high capacity around 2600 maH.
These slowly lose there charge on the self.
The other type is pre-charged around 2000 maH
These hold there charge over a year self life.
Also Sanya enevelope or something like that are the ones to get.

Summary: Best tester I found
Comment: I searched a while on the internet before selecting which battery tester to purchase, and I am extremely happy with this one that I selected. Of all of the testers (which were fairly inexpensive) this one seemed to be the best quality and made to last a long time. All of the other testers seemed cheap and the reviews for them stated how they broke after the first use-I had 2 baskets full of batteries, of all sizes and was able to test all of them and the tester worked amazingly-and still does. I would recommend this product to anyone.
