    I bought both the Amprobe BAT-200 and D-Fantix BT-168D. If I had to buy only one, it'd be the Amprobe. I'd also recommend it if you're not the sort of person who eats Volts and Amps for breakfast. But each has its virtues. Details follow:The two testers are nearly identical physically, but the Amprobe has a more solid feel to it. The Amprobe uses an analog meter movement, whereas the D-Fantix is digital. There is a helpful table on the back of each meter that gives advice on when to replace a battery.The key functional difference is that the Amprobe meter places a simulated load on the battery when testing it, whereas the D-Fantix does not. I believe a modest load is a good idea when testing most batteries because it's more realistic for most applications. It's this idea of loading that explains why some reviewers are bound to be unhappy with any battery tester.A battery you've taken out of a flashlight as dead might still run a wall clock for months. That's because the job of powering the flashlight is more like a sprint and powering the wall clock is more like a marathon. Not a perfect analogy, but the point is that you'll find reviewers of battery testers who say that the tester is defective because it said a battery was no good even when it would still run their clock just fine for months. Or they'll say that a tester is defective because it said a battery was fine, yet it wouldn't run their flashlight.The point here is that with any tester, there will be a questionable zone where your battery may do fine in some uses yet completely fail in others. A tester like the Amprobe that places a simulated load on the battery is more likely to say that a battery is no good when it'll run your clock just fine. A tester with no load like the D-Fantix is more likely to say that a battery is good, even when it won't run your flashlight.So the right way to use all testers is to check them with batteries that have just died. When the clock stops, test the battery and note what it reads. Same for your flashlight. That'll tell you how to mentally adjust the tester's reading for the particular devices where you use your batteries.Which leads to one final comment on button batteries, watch batteries, coin cells, etc. You can just tell by how little they weigh compared a big honking D cell that they don't have a much oomph. The Amprobe meter has an appropriate load for 9 V batteries and for 1.5 V batteries down to AAA. But I found that the load was too strenuous for the smallest of the button batteries, especially when they were used in low-demand applications like watches or heart-rate monitors. If you'll be testing a lot of these smaller batteries, you may be better off with the D-Fantix.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Amprobe BAT 200 Battery Tester
    Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    My son has an X-Box 360 and he seems to go through batteries at a pretty fast rate. I started to collect the ones he discards when his controller loses connection due to low battery and in the past month have collect about 30 AA batteries (and a few others from other devices). So I was looking forward to testing the "old" batteries to see if in fact they were all truly low and ready to toss.

    The day this device arrived I found 8 batteries still showing "full" power that I would have thrown away if it were not for this unit. I also found 6 that had some life in them and could be used for a few more days. As a result it sure looks like I'll recoup the cost of the Amprobe in a short time. Testing these AA and some other AAA alkaline batteries was very simple and quick. I have also tried some of the smaller "coin" batteries like those used in watches and pedometers, but they require a bit more dexterity to hold the battery in place while applying the connectors, I noticed for those style battery, you may have to also wiggle the battery a bit to get a good reading. I have not had an opportunity to test 9 volt batteries yet, but it appears very simple - just touch the leads to the side of the unit.

    So the unit does what it was designed to do, which is to check the power left in the batteries and identify spent batteries form those that still are useable. Overall I like the size of the unit and the ease of use (the testing of the "coin" style was a little frustrating, but not impossible), and the fact that I'll likely save buying batteries before I need to. I would recommend this device to others as an inexpensive way to check used batteries or batteries that have been in the "junk drawer" for some time. You'll not only be sure that when you go to use a battery that it has full power rather than putting in one you'll need to soon replace, and you'll also save some money by not throwing away potentially good batteries.

    I was very disappointed in how long it took to receive this after ordering. I submitted an order on 02/22/2013 for this tester along with several other items. All the other items arrived long before this did - which was delivered on 03/28/2013. Just wanted to mention this frustration and let you know I did NOT lower the rating based on lengthy time it took to receive. I'm not sure what the delay was caused by, but if you need one of these in a hurry you may want to order from another source.

    It definitely works - I don’t like the way the batteries are held to test them - the place where the batteries go is not spring loaded so the battery can fall out, but it definitely works as advertised and once you get the hang of it it’s good.

    5.0 out of 5 stars very handy and useful item but has a flaw about button batteries
    Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    I have a large collection of rechargable and non rechargable batteries that I use for different purposes. Sometimes it is not very easy to distinguish the flat ones from the full ones and this small handy item does a great job for this purpose. I had spared more than 15 old batteries for recycling assuming they were flat and half of them turned up to have good level of charge in them. I may use them for clocks or other less demanding stuff. This is a very good item that can be used to test all common battery types and would eventually save one good amount of money. I hope it lasts.

    UPDATE after 1 week: I have concerns on the accuracy of the reading for button batteries. I bought a brand new set of button batteries (CR1616) for my watch and just out of curiosity tested one with this tool. First it is very difficult to get it in the place and second after the indicator needle wandered up and down a little while it showed the 'replace' area. Which I believe is totally wrong. Then I tested it with two other brand new button batteries from different types (LR44 and CR2032)The reading with LR44 was consistent and accurate but CR2032 behaved somewhat similar to CR1616 (the needle jumped up and down then decreased back to 'replace battery area') I think the circuit in some button batteries is not strong enough for this device. For that case, I think if you see the needle at least once going up then assume that the battery is ok, do not expect it to stabilize in the green zone.

    Despite this flaw about button batteries, I still rate this item 5 stars due to its value for price rate and accuracy in major battery types. If you are not a heavy button battery user, then you won't regret this purchase.
