I reckon it's a useful piece of kit - just a shame that so many stupid people post comments on You Tube.

I guess users of 18V (or more) gear will have to remove and test each battery individually?

Why not just buy a multimeter? You can use them for 1000s of other things as well as testing batteries & a good basic one can be bought for less than a tenner.

What's wrong with just licking the battery?

I guess the reason is - that such a tool will be fine for those who neither know, or care what an Ampere is. They just want to know how much *ehem* 'power' is left in their battery. A meter showing them a percentage and time left will be more meaningful to them.

Yep, I have a maplin one that I grabbed for a 5er that I chuck in my guitar box - and leave my expensive unit at home!

I see the point over the 18v thing - I wonder if the unit can handle that?
