Tools and Hardware Reviews of Sinometer BT558 Self-powered Battery Tester
Customer Review: Great battery tester!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great little device. I have used it on both rechargeable and standard batteries of many sizes. Like a lot of people we have a "battery bin" that has several used and new batteries of different sizes, and this tester helped me identify those that were bad and needed to be disposed, and which rechargeables needed to be recharded. At the price, you can't beat this little tester. Great product!Customer Review: Inaccurate reading if not exactly placed
Summary: 2 Stars
Pro: tests many sizes of dry cell batteries. Inexpensive. Can give accurate reading if you correctly position the battery.
Con: Tester contacts have to be exactly placed on the battery and it may take two or three tries to be sure. For each reading, the needle swings back and forth so you have to be patient and wait for it to stop moving.
Customer Review: It is simple, it works and it is cheap
Summary: 4 Stars
Pros:
-Green for good and red for bad. How simple can it get?
-It works for many types of batteries
Cons:
-If Amazon starts to carry this (than a 3rd party), maybe the shipping charges won't be double compares to its price
-When I say cheap, it means cheap in both ways. Price and cheap plastic.

Mastech BT558 Self-powered Battery Tester
This arrived on time. This is my second Mastech, this one for my husband. I really like this thing. It is small and tests fine. My old one won't test rechargeable batteries, but this does.
Customer Review: Simple, easy to use, and actually effective
Summary: 4 Stars
Judging from the pictures, this device looked extremely "old-school", but surprisingly it worked well. I think it's most useful to test a few batteries here and there, as it can get time-consuming if you have a bag of 100 or so. Overall, I'd recommend this because it's inexpensive and useful.
