Re: OT: Battery Tester for nonrechargeable Lithium AA Batteries.

[Otis C. Wright, Jr.]

Nothing, if you understand what you get when you read open circuit 
voltage and these results are acceptable for your application.  Depends 
on the accuracy you want.   My experience has been that testing 
batteries under load  gives more accurate indication of status.    I 
could, but am not interested in doing so, assemble a load/meter combo 
using the manufacturers data.   Assembly is relatively easy.  
Calibration/test and packaging for field use takes time I'd rather spend 
doing something else.      I was looking for a prepackaged reasonable 
quality unit for field use in assessing cells used randomly in a 
standby/backup application.
