Was looking for something simple and easy to handle ,perfect!
KENNETH H.
Easy to use work great.
Janet E.
Just like the one I had in the old days‼️No house should be without a battery tester.
Daniel P.
Inexpensive good battery tester that stays with our batteries in their drawer.
Questionable batteries are quickly checked, tossed if bad and new ones grabbed while you’re there.
Saves time and money in a household where kids and teens replace batteries and have been known to leave the old batteries lying next to the game controllers, usually next to the good spares.
Matthew S.
Quick way to test common carbon zinc or alkaline batteries under a load. Gives you the true battery condition. nice to have one tool to do this that I can store with the batteries.
Matt S.
Works perfect and is accurate.
Anthony S.
Ordered item and a few days later Radio Shack offers free shipping!
Barbara W.
It is a great simple product. Testing AA, AAA, C, D and 9-volt batteries is simple. Had no problems laying the batteries in the track and then closing the tester. Button batteries are iffy to test. Had problems keeping them centered. But I primarily bought it for testing the other batteries. Just bought two more for my kids.
Diana R.
My old one died. This is a necessary item in my house.
Nels N.
good product
Marilyn D.
If muliple batteries are required, can waste a lot of time trying to determine which battery is a dead one. This will make it easier to
find and replace that battery!
Brian T.
Had 2 vintage Radio Shack battery testers from the 1980s that finally needed replacement, so I had to come back to Radio Shack for a new one. Love the item, works great.
Paul F.
Works great!
Christopher D.
Works well. Now I know if it's just the batteries or if what the batteries are in may be broken.
Daniel G.
Works Great!!!
marlyn o.
Had several batteries laying around and didn't know if they were good. Just put the battery in and make sure the connections were in place. Couldn't be easier.
Ronald M.
Works as advertised. And a bargain as a bonus. When something doesn’t work right, check the batteries first.
Rafael H.
Only thing I could not teste is de V9 batteries
Jacob H.
This little tester is great. It takes out the guess work. It’s light weight, easy to use and very handy to have around. Works with a variety of batteries. I’m happy I got it. The price makes it affordable even for me.
Thomas C.
I checked some rechargeable AA batteries when I got it & that was easy enough. I have an Ohm meter & all in which I can test batteries but this is much more convenient for general use. It's handy to just keep on the bench & I can just grab it for a quick test, nothing critical.
Leslie B.
Just used it once on AA and AAA batteries and it worked fine.
Johnny R.
It was great no problem with the service!! Thank You
Don P.
I've bought a lot of Radio Shack equipment over the past 45 years.
Daniel G.
If it works as explained, perfect!
James S.
Ordered 3 but only 2 of them worked!
Lou D.
.... the product works - now I'll know the status of my batteries - thx - lou delgado, santa ana, ca
Paul J.
It did not work at all when it arrived
Charles L.
Really simple to use and compact and fits in my battery box.
Keith B.
On the presumption that it works as well as it seems to, it’s quick and easy to keep handy with the stash of batteries.
There’s room for improvement regarding the ergonomics.
Ellis M.
Works like a charm. Very easy to use on various batteries.
Seth E.
Works fine to test the batteries noted. The slide contact is big enough to adjust to the batteries noted. and the pointer is easy to read.
Felix M.
Great device. I'm very happy with it. So happy, I bought another two (for my family members).
Patricia W.
Even tests flat CR3020 batteries.
It’s great!
Robert c.
I. Love this product also the best.
Patrick P.
Easy to hold battery while testing
Don S.
Reliable and fast shipping. Good value
Terry S.
It works just fine
Lois P.
Fair price, works great, arrived sooner than stated
Marion W.
Satisfied with design and ease of use.
James P.
I never received a confirmation email and could not confirm the purchase on your website. After not hearing anything for several days, I started to believe I hadn't actually made the purchase. Then it finally showed up. Work on it.
John K.
Have been passively searching for a long time for a device that will allow me to monitor the amount of charge left in a battery. When I came across this product I immediately ordered it.
Leonard M.
Very satisfied with product.
Thomas E.
Easiest to use of any battery tester I've ever used.
David N.
I like it because it's more versatile than the one I already have.
Daniel S.
Great little tester for the price!
Durrell H.
Just what I wanted. Fits in the ‘battery drawer’ nicely. I can take my multimeter back to the garage!!!!
Barry C.
The shack always has the parts I need.
Randal J.
It works as advertised.
Thank You
John G.
Simple, compact and easy to use. Buttons, Nine Volt and AAA thru D's... No more guesswork when finding stray batteries around the house .So many devices, and the kids change out batteries and leave them lying everywhere. Went thru a pile of about 20 batteries when this arrived, and found found five still new, and as we all know, Batteries aren't cheap. Very happy with this little tester... Five Stars!
Michael J G.
My order was shipped in a timely manner. Tyler was a big help on answering my questions!
Donna L.
a must have for every house hold....glad to have the Shack back...
Steven L.
A great, handy simple to use item. I’ve been looking for a battery tester for a while. Works fine, not expensive and Radio Shack had it in my mailbox within an incredible time frame. Glad Radio Shack is still around !
Ted D.
Tested it on all battery types. Worked great. I used to use a DVM to check the batteries. This is much easier AND others in the household can use it.
Dave K.
Works. Very well
Andrew J.
I ordered the analog battery tester from an advertisement on facebook. When I received the tester, it would not work. I e-mailed the company and explained the situation. I then got an e-mail from Kyle, who works for radioshack. Kyle was very helpful and assisted me in getting a new tester.
Jon W.
Works great
Tony R.
It was a gift, my wife has one over 25 years old that works great, I had told my daughter about it and all of a sudden this one popped up. She really likes it....
Mike P.
Excellent service and everything went as expected And the item I bought works just fine Save me a lot of time checking batteries
C W.
The first one did not work, however, Radio Shack made it right and sent me another one that did work. Thank. The tester works great !!
Paul H.
Excellent device - long needed by me.
william j.
Great Glad your back!
Ted C.
The Tester is not accurate at all. Also, I had to superglue it to keep it from falling apart.
Ronald S.
Does job intended for
JORGE T.
The tester works very well. It arrived in time, well packaged. I am satisfied with the device.
Jones P.
Order experience was great. I was very pleased with my he product which replaces the same product I got years back which had a different design. The latest design is better with one exception. You have to make sure the battery (under test) makes good contact with the negative pole contact where there is a small raised dimple. If you are off center of this dimple contact you get an invalid reading. This one problem is why I dropped my rating from 5 to 4 Stars.
Tony L.
It's a handy gadget. One feature that could use improvement: batteries fall out of the contact area unless you hold them in there rather tightly. Overall, it's nice to know battery condition.
Michae T.
Great little battery tester. Gets the job done.
Chuck W.
Analog isn't what I was looking for but it sure is handy for a quick reference. Being an "old" engineer I like to know "{how many" volts are left, but as a practical matter a quick "Go-No Go" with your light system is very useful and expedient.
Charles D.
Miss your stores
Stuart E.
On time; exactly what I ordered; it worked as expected; nice to know Radio Shack is back in the game.
jerry h.
Great service and products. Thank you Radio Shack !
Kerwin K.
It registered all batteries as in excellent condition, even when they were on the verge of failing.
William R.
Just what we need to check AA and AAA batteries, which we have lots of.
James B.
It's great
Mike W.
Ordering was fast and easy. The battery tester works great and is well worth the purchase price!
David D.
I needed batteries and saw the tester. I wanted a way that my wife could test batteries so that she would not put dead ones back in the package. Works well.
Robert D.
Everything ok with order
Robert K.
Now I know if i have good batteries or bad batteries. Very satisfied.
Nick G.
This is why I would go to bricks and mortar RadioShacks on a regular basis. I need a tool, a part and I don't want to agonize over tracking it down. I have a lot of camera gear, and that means batteries. This tester is exactly what I needed. And I had been needing it for a good 2 years. . . thank you.
charles s.
very cool tester . tests all types of batterys
William M.
Good product and price. Fast shipping.
Tom B.
This was just what I was needing. So many batteries laying around after the holidays that had been used sparingly. Great product.
Dayle C.
Great
Richard P.
Works great!
Frank C.
Easy to use, inexpensive battery tester. Handy for diagnosing depleted batteries in remote controls and other battery powered devices.
Fred W.
Haven't had one of these in years. Just what I wanted at a good price.
Joseph J.
In my opinion , the unit is upside-down. It would be easier if if the battery holder was on top.
The way it is now, to see the gauge right side up, the battery has to be held on the bottom or on the side. Damn gravity
Shawn S.
Great service!
MIKE C.
30+ years ago I bought a Micronta Battery Checker 22-096A at Radio Shack. I still have it, it is well built, it still works well, but I wanted some like it to share with others. Apparently they aren't made anymore. I bought 4 of the items I'm reviewing and they are good, but the design and materials aren't as durable as the Micronta and they can be awkward to use because they don't hold batteries being tested as securely. I like that they can test 1.5V button batteries, but wish they could test 3V button and 3V batteries for garage door openers. Nevertheless, a battery tester is a very important item for every household, and those I gifted them to appreciated it!
David R.
cheap and clunky... I have a Radio Shack battery tester from the 1970s that is much higher quality
James S.
had one similar back in teh early 80's from radio shack that did what i neede now i can eaily determine if i need to replace a battery or not an not have ot guess at it an waist time an money
John D S.
Small, easy to use and accurate.
Ronald P.
Since I have had this battery tester I have been able to clean up my battery drawer and get rid of the batteries that were not usable. It is easy to use and it easily fits in my drawer with my batteries where it can be easily accessed when needed. The best part is the only batteries needed are the ones you are checking.
Eugene K.
Quickly measures batteries , especially for portable equipment, quickly for a "go/no go" status .
kathi S.
9 bolt battery did not fit tester. Bummer.
John G.
Good service
John Z.
It's a great tool, replaces the old paper strip testers. Saves time testing with a VOM meter.
Allen Pace B.
Seems to work okay. Haven't had time to really test it.
Rebeca M.
This battery tester works very well. At first it didn't work, but since all the previous reviews rated it 5 stars, we thought there was no way ours would be the faulty one. We had made sure the contacts were correctly being made and the AA battery was positioned with the positive terminal pointing down. It still didn't work. As a last resort, we thought maybe the needle was just stuck, so we gave the unit a good bang on the table, and sure enough, the needle was free. It works just fine!
Paul J.
The online order app worked ‘perfect’. This analog battery tester is actually an ‘upgraded’ version of an earlier model I still have which still works. The new model solves the problem of the older model where you may get an invalid reading if you don’t press firmly on the tester terminal contacts to the terminals of the battery under test. RS IS manufacturing its products at ‘off shore’ factories (like everyone else) but have maintained good quality control standards so products are consistent cosmetically and functionally. Now that I realize that RS is still around (online) I’ll be a regular shopper again. RADIO SHACK IS BACK | YEAH!!!

I've bought a lot of Radio Shack equipment over the past 45 years.
Daniel G.
If it works as explained, perfect!
James S.

Lou D.

Paul J.
It did not work at all when it arrived
Charles L.
Really simple to use and compact and fits in my battery box.
Keith B.
On the presumption that it works as well as it seems to, it’s quick and easy to keep handy with the stash of batteries.
There’s room for improvement regarding the ergonomics.
Ellis M.
Works like a charm. Very easy to use on various batteries.
Seth E.
Works fine to test the batteries noted. The slide contact is big enough to adjust to the batteries noted. and the pointer is easy to read.
Felix M.
Great device. I'm very happy with it. So happy, I bought another two (for my family members).
Patricia W.
Even tests flat CR3020 batteries.
It’s great!
Robert c.
I. Love this product also the best.

Marion W.
Satisfied with design and ease of use.
James P.
I never received a confirmation email and could not confirm the purchase on your website. After not hearing anything for several days, I started to believe I hadn't actually made the purchase. Then it finally showed up. Work on it.
John K.
Have been passively searching for a long time for a device that will allow me to monitor the amount of charge left in a battery. When I came across this product I immediately ordered it.
Leonard M.
Very satisfied with product.
Thomas E.
Easiest to use of any battery tester I've ever used.
David N.
I like it because it's more versatile than the one I already have.
Daniel S.
Great little tester for the price!
Durrell H.
Just what I wanted. Fits in the ‘battery drawer’ nicely. I can take my multimeter back to the garage!!!!
Barry C.
The shack always has the parts I need.
Randal J.
It works as advertised.
Thank You
John G.
Simple, compact and easy to use. Buttons, Nine Volt and AAA thru D's... No more guesswork when finding stray batteries around the house .So many devices, and the kids change out batteries and leave them lying everywhere. Went thru a pile of about 20 batteries when this arrived, and found found five still new, and as we all know, Batteries aren't cheap. Very happy with this little tester... Five Stars!
Michael J G.
My order was shipped in a timely manner. Tyler was a big help on answering my questions!
Donna L.
a must have for every house hold....glad to have the Shack back...
Steven L.
A great, handy simple to use item. I’ve been looking for a battery tester for a while. Works fine, not expensive and Radio Shack had it in my mailbox within an incredible time frame. Glad Radio Shack is still around !
Ted D.
Tested it on all battery types. Worked great. I used to use a DVM to check the batteries. This is much easier AND others in the household can use it.
Dave K.
Works. Very well
Andrew J.
I ordered the analog battery tester from an advertisement on facebook. When I received the tester, it would not work. I e-mailed the company and explained the situation. I then got an e-mail from Kyle, who works for radioshack. Kyle was very helpful and assisted me in getting a new tester.
Jon W.
Works great
Tony R.
It was a gift, my wife has one over 25 years old that works great, I had told my daughter about it and all of a sudden this one popped up. She really likes it....
Mike P.
Excellent service and everything went as expected And the item I bought works just fine Save me a lot of time checking batteries
C W.
The first one did not work, however, Radio Shack made it right and sent me another one that did work. Thank. The tester works great !!
Paul H.
Excellent device - long needed by me.
william j.
Great Glad your back!
Ted C.
The Tester is not accurate at all. Also, I had to superglue it to keep it from falling apart.
Ronald S.
Does job intended for
JORGE T.
The tester works very well. It arrived in time, well packaged. I am satisfied with the device.
Jones P.
Order experience was great. I was very pleased with my he product which replaces the same product I got years back which had a different design. The latest design is better with one exception. You have to make sure the battery (under test) makes good contact with the negative pole contact where there is a small raised dimple. If you are off center of this dimple contact you get an invalid reading. This one problem is why I dropped my rating from 5 to 4 Stars.
Tony L.
It's a handy gadget. One feature that could use improvement: batteries fall out of the contact area unless you hold them in there rather tightly. Overall, it's nice to know battery condition.
Michae T.
Great little battery tester. Gets the job done.
Chuck W.
Analog isn't what I was looking for but it sure is handy for a quick reference. Being an "old" engineer I like to know "{how many" volts are left, but as a practical matter a quick "Go-No Go" with your light system is very useful and expedient.
Charles D.
Miss your stores
Stuart E.
On time; exactly what I ordered; it worked as expected; nice to know Radio Shack is back in the game.
jerry h.
Great service and products. Thank you Radio Shack !
Kerwin K.
It registered all batteries as in excellent condition, even when they were on the verge of failing.
William R.
Just what we need to check AA and AAA batteries, which we have lots of.
James B.
It's great
Mike W.
Ordering was fast and easy. The battery tester works great and is well worth the purchase price!
David D.
I needed batteries and saw the tester. I wanted a way that my wife could test batteries so that she would not put dead ones back in the package. Works well.
Robert D.
Everything ok with order
Robert K.
Now I know if i have good batteries or bad batteries. Very satisfied.
Nick G.
This is why I would go to bricks and mortar RadioShacks on a regular basis. I need a tool, a part and I don't want to agonize over tracking it down. I have a lot of camera gear, and that means batteries. This tester is exactly what I needed. And I had been needing it for a good 2 years. . . thank you.
charles s.
very cool tester . tests all types of batterys
William M.
Good product and price. Fast shipping.
Tom B.
This was just what I was needing. So many batteries laying around after the holidays that had been used sparingly. Great product.
Dayle C.
Great
Richard P.
Works great!
Frank C.
Easy to use, inexpensive battery tester. Handy for diagnosing depleted batteries in remote controls and other battery powered devices.
Fred W.
Haven't had one of these in years. Just what I wanted at a good price.
Joseph J.
In my opinion , the unit is upside-down. It would be easier if if the battery holder was on top.
The way it is now, to see the gauge right side up, the battery has to be held on the bottom or on the side. Damn gravity
Shawn S.
Great service!
MIKE C.
30+ years ago I bought a Micronta Battery Checker 22-096A at Radio Shack. I still have it, it is well built, it still works well, but I wanted some like it to share with others. Apparently they aren't made anymore. I bought 4 of the items I'm reviewing and they are good, but the design and materials aren't as durable as the Micronta and they can be awkward to use because they don't hold batteries being tested as securely. I like that they can test 1.5V button batteries, but wish they could test 3V button and 3V batteries for garage door openers. Nevertheless, a battery tester is a very important item for every household, and those I gifted them to appreciated it!
David R.
cheap and clunky... I have a Radio Shack battery tester from the 1970s that is much higher quality
James S.
had one similar back in teh early 80's from radio shack that did what i neede now i can eaily determine if i need to replace a battery or not an not have ot guess at it an waist time an money
John D S.
Small, easy to use and accurate.
Ronald P.
Since I have had this battery tester I have been able to clean up my battery drawer and get rid of the batteries that were not usable. It is easy to use and it easily fits in my drawer with my batteries where it can be easily accessed when needed. The best part is the only batteries needed are the ones you are checking.
Eugene K.
Quickly measures batteries , especially for portable equipment, quickly for a "go/no go" status .
kathi S.
9 bolt battery did not fit tester. Bummer.
John G.
Good service
John Z.
It's a great tool, replaces the old paper strip testers. Saves time testing with a VOM meter.
Allen Pace B.
Seems to work okay. Haven't had time to really test it.
Rebeca M.
This battery tester works very well. At first it didn't work, but since all the previous reviews rated it 5 stars, we thought there was no way ours would be the faulty one. We had made sure the contacts were correctly being made and the AA battery was positioned with the positive terminal pointing down. It still didn't work. As a last resort, we thought maybe the needle was just stuck, so we gave the unit a good bang on the table, and sure enough, the needle was free. It works just fine!
Paul J.
The online order app worked ‘perfect’. This analog battery tester is actually an ‘upgraded’ version of an earlier model I still have which still works. The new model solves the problem of the older model where you may get an invalid reading if you don’t press firmly on the tester terminal contacts to the terminals of the battery under test. RS IS manufacturing its products at ‘off shore’ factories (like everyone else) but have maintained good quality control standards so products are consistent cosmetically and functionally. Now that I realize that RS is still around (online) I’ll be a regular shopper again. RADIO SHACK IS BACK | YEAH!!!
