Utopia Tools has a generic import battery tester for $3.59. Used to test a large range of batteries for charge, it’s also incredibly useful when troubleshooting a device or just trying to determine which loose caliper button cell in your toolbox is an old dead one or a new one. Sure, you can use a multitester for this, but it’s nice to have a cheap handy tool.

Does anyone know if these do a load-test, or are they just simple volt meters?
