does it test lithium bateries (non_rechargable) ?

Sorry, haven't a clue. I've not even tried mine, just wanted something to test batteries before purchasing them unnecessarily.

I'm not sure as I have only tested standard batteries but I think lithium can be tested as well.

No. Lithium cells have 3 volts, so are not compatible with battery testers that are designed to test standard 1.5 volt cells.

I can find nothing in the directions about the device not being able to test lithium batteries.

You could use a Lith battery. When you get the unit test it immediately. The unit I received had a defective manual function.

yes ,you can test the battery voltage,charging current from the solar panel

It has a dedicated spot just for Lithium AA battery, if you can see the picture well enough, the second spot from top on right is ONLY AA lithium. In my experience this meter is simply amazing and accurate.

I believe so. I use rechargeable batteries, but Lithium should work. I haven't had any problems with them and my other devices.

It's easier than you think. The compartment below is for spare battery storage. To test simply lay the battery face down on tester. Hope this helps.

There are higher output non-rechargeable batteries. These wouldn't power a device I have which will run for about 8 hours with Energizer Ultimate Lithium. I'm groused I can't seem to find a rechargeable that'll power the device.

I've only used it on car batteries, but I would think it would be able to load test any battery, car or marine.

It has rechargeable battery, but I don't remember the weather it is Lithium or anything else.

Have not had the opportunity for that test, but it works great and holds a full charge for a long time have only charged it twice using the computer, have it for over month. Works great

Yes, I just tried it and it works but since those batteries are 3 volts it is hard to know if it is reading it right. It "pegged" out a new battery and I suspect that it will tell you if a 3V is very weak or dead, but not "low" since a "low 3v" would probably still produce more than 1.5v. By the way, this tester has already saved me it's cost in batteries I would have otherwise thrown away.

Absolutely! Matter of fact this multi-tester is so powerful, handy and easy to use, and with auto range feature; for instant, if you want to test your battery, just slide the switch to volt and read voltage instantly. This one is always in my pocket, every time when I want to test something quick, am always grab this one instead of my other big and expensive ones. My son always wants to borrow this little one for his robot project. Trust me, you will love it.

Yes. The unit installed a Lithium-Iron rechargeable battery. But it accepts any 3.6-4.0VDC source if you connect it to the battery input. OR you can connect a 5VDC to USB port as external power.

No, it does not test watch batteries! There are other specific testers for watch batteries.

Please note that the original eight (8) contact version of the ZTS MBT-1 tests most common batteries (AAA, AA, C, D, N, 9v, Li Coin type batteries, CR123, NiCd & NiMH, A76, etc). It does not test the specialty 3.6v Li-Ion rechargeables (18500, 18650, etc). If you can find one, it is still a great tester and you save a few dollars - Why pay extra for something you don't need.

I really don't think so, but I would check the Ryobi website FAQ. One immediate test you can do in the store is if the Li-Ion battery even fits into the old NiCd receiver.

Yes, there is a dedicated spot for 1.5v AA lithium batteries, although I, personally, don't have such batteries to test it.
