[Hidden-tech] Dying (,) Batteries, and Testers

[Rob Laporte]

I bet I’m not the only one who, over years, has been dismayed that battery testers for small batteries, like for smoke detectors and remotes, just don’t tell you much. It’s because all the cheap ones don’t actually test the power in the battery. What do they test? Not sure, but not percentage of power remaining, except within a useless range close to the line between red and green. It was perhaps too joyous a moment for me when I used a real battery tester, and within a few minutes could throw out, save, or recharge all my batteries. Next I’ll test all batteries in my smoke detectors to avoid the schedule-shattering low-battery warning that usually happens around 3am.

So that such knowledge so consequential in ending accumulated annoyances does not taper off with my existence, I thought I’d pass on the good news here. Not exactly the second coming, but at least a few steps out of a mini-purgatory. Here’s what I bought: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DRJZRJ4 .
