Tools and Hardware Reviews of Gardner Bender #GBT-500A Battery Tester
Customer Review: It seems Ok, but I would like to know if it applies a 'load'
Summary: 4 Stars
The device certainly IS user-friendly. Instead of the usual voltmeter type of dial with voltage ranges, you just select the battery type. And there are several choices (except Nimh I but you CAN use the equivalent "NiCad" setting). In any case, I would just like the manual to have said if the tester applices a 'load' so as to know if the battery will stand-up in real use...such as in a flashlight or radio. From what I recall from my old physics class, applying a load gave a more accurate reading. There's no mention of this 'either way' in the manual. Also, I would suggest that anyone who buys the unit to find/buy some cheap little plastic 'holder' that will hold the battery stationary while you are touch the appropriate leads to the +/- terminals. It will just make life a little easier. (I used the bottom of a small 2" X 2" (approx.) plastic case that is used to 'transport/hold' AA batteries, to support/stabilize the batteries horizontally...and make it easy to touch the leads to the terminals.)[Follow-up: I agree with another reviewer...a lot of batteries that 'ought' to be indicated as being weak, still diplay well into the Good range. I tried some batteries that are 10 years past their expriation date, and they still show as sligtly Good. And some batteries that won't work in a particular device anymore, show the same result. I'm just a little suspicious of this...but I'm not able to verify this by some 'scientific means'. When I completely deplete a battery, I'll give it another test then.]
