Battery testers can generally be used on multiple types of household battery, including AA, AAA, 1.5v button cells, 9v square batteries and rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries. However, it is best to check that a tester suits your battery needs before purchase, especially for more specialised batteries, such as those used in cameras. | |||
