FAQ

What is an analogue battery tester?

An analogue battery tester is a tool used to measure the voltage or charge level of a battery. It typically has a needle gauge that moves along a scale, showing the battery's state of charge. These testers are usually simple to use and can test various types of batteries, such as AA, AAA, 9V, and others.

How does an analogue battery tester work?

The tester works by placing the battery in contact with two metal probes that are connected to an internal circuit. The battery’s voltage causes a current to flow, moving the needle on the gauge to indicate whether the battery is fully charged, partially charged, or discharged.
