## Description

* Easy to use - no switches or settings* Quickly and easily identify weak or failing batteries* Patented high accuracy Pulse Load Test* Ideal for battery management and cell matching* Made in U.S.A.The ZTS Multi-Battery Tester (MBT-1) provides a comprehensive means of testing the state of charge or state of power for more than 30 battery types. This microprocessor-controlled instrument is designed to test popular primary (non-rechargeable) and rechargeable batteries using a patented, high accuracy pulse load test. After a fully automatic test cycle, percentage of remaining battery capacity is indicated on the LED bar display. Battery types are clearly labeled next to appropriate contacts. Negative test lead/probe conveniently stores in seam at side. There are no switches or settings, and test results are easy to understand. Test NiMH, Li-Ion, alkaline, lithium, coin cell, button type and more: 3.6v Li-Ion rechargeable [RCR123A, 18500, 17650, 18650]; 1.5v button cell [S76, A76, A625, A640, LR44, 357, 303]; 1.2v NiMH/NiCd rechargeable [AA, AAA, C, D]; 1.5v lithium [AA L91, AAA L92]; 3v lithium coin [CR1216, CR1220, CR1232, CR1612, CR1616, CR1620, CR1632, CR2016, CR2025, CR2320, CR2032, CR2430, CR2450, 58L, 1/3N]; 6v '28' series [28A, S28, 28L, 544, 4LR44]; 3v lithium cylindrical [CR123, CR2]; 1.5v alkaline [AA, AAA, C, D, N]; 12v alkaline [A23]; 9v alkaline & carbon zinc. Uses 4AA batteries (not included).

Review: Allows you to test and discard only the batteries that are no good - I have two battery testers from this company the small one that tests cr123, 9 volt and 1.5 alkaline etc. And this larger one. They both work very very well I've had them for years and I've tested literally hundreds of batteries through each one. The small one does require a couple of batteries to make it operate. I actually like the fact that the large one uses the power from the batteries you're testing to utilize the testing process which makes it better for leaving in a garage or a recreational vehicle where you don't really need to worry about the batteries leaking. These testers are second to none... they're extremely convenient. Most people just throw away all the batteries from a device assuming that both, or all four of them are all six of them are bad. I generally find that only one or two of them are low or dead and that's making the whole thing inoperable, whatever device you're looking at. So being able to properly stress each battery individually so that you understand if it's 60 80 or 100% is really very important. I actually keep aside batteries that are only 60 or 80% and group them together so that I can use them and things like remote controls for TVs and other low drain devices that I don't really need brand new batteries every time. In my case I generally pitch the battery if it's 40% or less because there's not much use in holding on to it. But again the big plus here is that you can take a handful of batteries from a device find out exactly which one or two might be bad and replace just those and put them all back in without spending a bunch of money on them. It's well worth the money, I know it's pricey but if you think about how much you pay for batteries over a period of many years this device is well worth it and an extremely good quality. If you use a lot of button batteries, double A or Triple A lithium batteries like I do you're going to need the large one as it's the only one that tests those.
Review: Best tester on the market, without optional soft case. - This is the best cell tester I know of on the market. This package does not include the separate fitted soft neoprene case that I recommend to all purchasers to protect their investment in the instrument, which can be found at ZTS SC-MBT1 - Protective Soft Case for MBT-1 Battery Tester . This MBT-1 tester bundled with the soft case is The ZTS Multi-Battery Tester With Case - MBT-1 . I've had an MBT-1 tester for four years and use it quite frequently. Although a knowledgeable technician can replicate this pulse battery test with appropriate resistors and an inexpensive digital multimeter (DMM), the ease of use, speed of use, and unambiguous results make the MBT-1 worthwhile to anyone who works with cells ('batteries') or keeps cells on hand in various states of charge. I use four Energizer lithium cells to power mine, mostly because this type of cell has a reduced change of leaking and damaging the expensive MBT-1. To test, each cell is held by hand with the positive or button end down against the appropriate contact point on the tester, while the attached probe is pressed to the negative end. The scanning LED sweeps visibly back and forth across the face during the scanning, which lasts three seconds, and then clearly stops at the indicated charge level. You can hear the relay clicking inside the unit as it gives your readout, and again afterward as you break the circuit. Testing questionable cells will definitely prevent those with life from heading to the garbage bin. It's not surprising that I've used the MBT-1 to test cells from the battery recycle bin and found new and nearly-new matched sets discarded by others. The ZTS MBT-1 is also extremely useful for verifying that matched sets of cells all retain the same level of charge -- having a weak nonrechargeable cell get charged by other cells in a series frequently leads to alkaline battery leaks. (This is also why single-cell devices like flashlights are useful to use up the remaining life from unmatched single cells.) I've tested AA, AAA, C, D, and 9-volt alkaline cells, AA and AAA 1.5V lithium cells, CR123, CR2032, CR2016, and CR2 3.0V lithium cells in the nonrechargeable (primary) category. In rechargeable (so-called secondary cells) I've tested 3.7V nominal conventional lithium-ion cells, mostly in size 18650. The MBT-1 doesn't test LiFePO4 chemistry, but despite the best efforts of several firms that chemistry remains rare in both cells and chargers The MBT-1 is labeled 'Made in U.S.A.' and serial numbered on the rear. The outer perimeter is a bumper made of stiff rubber-like synthetic, and has a form-fitting groove to hold the probe at the end of its attached wire. It's very solidly constructed and seems like it would last decades with proper care. Now to the downsides. Besides being a fairly large and weighty device for an electronic instrument, there is only one disadvantage: price. Used appropriately, this tester could save its purchase price in a year or two of frequent use. What's unexpected, though, is that the price of this tester seems to rise steadily every year, like vintage champage. It seems unlikely any patent protection remains on basic pulse load-testing of cells, but even so it doesn't seem like anyone has produced a comparable alternative as yet. If ZTS follows the pattern set by other firms, the price will stay high until a competitor appears, then they'll quickly lower the price to match the competitor. Even so, ZTS might want to think about increasing their products' value before they get disrupted by a nimble offshore competitor. For example, ZTS can bundle the optional soft neoprene case without decreasing the price point of the product.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this test 1.2v rechargeable ni-cad batteries?  the 1.2v test button is only labeled for ni-mh batteries.**
A: It does not specifically say NiCad, but what it actually tests is voltage under load.  As rechargeable NiCads also produce  the same 1.2v as NiMH when charged,  the test should be exactly the same for both types of battery. The chemical composition of the battery is not relevant in this case.

**Q: Are the testers offered by the seller the latest MBT-1 version that is labeled for testing CR1620 batteries?**
A: The MBT-1 tester I have (purchased about 6-8 months ago) is labeled for the CR 1620 3 volt lithium battery. The contact is the third from the top on the right side as you look at the tester.  The Amazon ad picture also shows this contact and label.  It's a great tester!

**Q: This device is much more expensive than others: is it worth it?**
A: I have 100s of dry cell batteries in my apt. complex, (smoke detectors etc.). It is important for me to know for sure the 50 cent battery has failed as opposed to the 50 dollar smoke detector. .I had some cheaper ones and they didn't give consistent test results. I would say yes it is worth the cost.

**Q: Is this device UL (or similar) listed?**
A: UL is not listed on any of the paper work included with the charger.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High quality battery checking
*by C***R on December 18, 2025*

Accurate, simple to operate, and fairly comprehensive in terms of battery coverage. This is slightly expensive but a big step up over most of the battery check meters out there. Batteries that appeared all right based on other meters, which included load testing, missed a number of batteries that were no longer viable. The ZTS identified these.
