does this tester test watch batteries?

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

The MINI-MBT is not the best choice for watch batteries. It has positions to test 3v Lithium CR123 and CR2 and Li-Ion 18500,17650,18650, & RCR123A. I love the tester but you should get the MBT-1 if you need to test watch batteries and also the larger coin cell batteries in your auto remote. Get the ZT-MBT1 kit, which comes with a nice case to protect the tester as well.

Hello Glenn, I haven't used mine since last summer but as I recall it checks the individual cells and because of that I am pretty sure that you will need one for each battery.

This tester will not test car batteries it's designed for AA, AAA's, Button batteries, hobby batteries ,9 volt and watch batteries. For car batteries you need a tester that will put a load on it to test the capacityfor cold cranking. Hope this answers your question.

Yes. It monitors battery charge level and responds with the appropriate charge rate to keep battery at optimum charge level.

It can not test any battery well. There are other testers better then this. There is an inexpensive tester out there. I do not have the model number. It is black with a red slide to make contact with the terminals of the battery. It works great.

As far as I know, no. To test the charge, it is executed a discharge/charge cicle. It would be possible to test the volts of the battery, wich is reliable mesasure for non-rechargeable batteries, but I presume it would be dangerous.

No its not a tester. Yes you can charge batteries not fully discharged. Also, it will tell you if a battery is bad. However I've had it say this and with a rub of the battery against my clothes. The contract must have been better because then it changed fine.

Hi yes you will input what the cca rating is on your battery, and then it will test against that set range.

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

Yes. You can also look at your battery and look at the brand name while comparing to the one being sold here.

We generally just use multimeters and/or Hydrometers to check batteries, I don't think this has that capability.It's great for charging though.

no, it would not put any kind of a load on the battery to give you an accurate test

Not sure how to test them. Two came with the purchase but, my old regular batteries would last all day.

In my opinion this tester give an accurate gauge of the condition of the battery, I have rechargeable batteries that have shown up as good on another tester but under load were no use, this one weeds them out

Hi R.W., this tester will certainly tell you if smaller batteries are in good shape but it is kind of over kill as it works by resistance testing. Kind of like plugging a toaster onto your battery. It will draw a lot of juice off the battery in just one test with smaller batteries so if they are weak you will know it fast and they will likely need a recharge afterward. I use it for 4 and 8 D size batteries for starting large diesel engines. I would suggest a lighter amp load tester for what you are doing. Something around a 50 amp range. Hope this helps.

Yes. The batteries will show how much juice they have left on your camera screen.

The power light on the right side of the unit "should" indicate the battery status of the unit, not the battery being tested. So, here's a thought, try putting "fresh" batteries in the unit, then run your test again.
