Around my house the universal solution when a electronic devise fails to work is " Batteries are dead". They then go to the draw where I keep a supply of batteries and replace the batteries, throwing

I bought a cheap universal battery tester from RadioShack some years ago. Cost something like $3. Answers all those questions. Wonderfull tool to have in that drawer. ________________________________

The lower voltage limit really depends on what sort of load the battery is expected to supply. An almost-dead battery might work fine for something like a TV remote, but be useless in a flashlight or

You have to have a load on the battery to accurately measure if its output voltage is in range. Unfortunately I don't know what's typical output current for standard cells. If an AA is supposed to be

IMO, 1.5 with no load is about the lower limit to call a battery "nearly new". And at 1.4 I just pitch them. As someone said, you could try to squeeze a little more life out in a low current device

If you want a real battery tester, get a ZTS one. It puts a load on the battery and gives a real measure of capacity. ztsinc.com I have an mtb-1 that stays in the "battery drawer" and a mini that liv
