I purchased the MINI first on August 8, 2011. After using it for testing and verifying alkaline batteries I have been able to save money by not throwing out semi-dead alkalines (using them in low drain flashlights to use them up). I was able to better monitor the different brands of rechargeable batteries and weed out the poor performers. Loved functionality and the size of the MINI, but started getting devices that used button cells it couldn’t test. When it stopped working unexpectedly after 5 years (my sons were young, so there may have been a drop involved), I opted for the full size ZTS MBT-1 (December 5, 2016). The only battery I have that it doesn’t test are 9V rechargeables. Thinking about buying a new MINI so that I can have a tester with my in my office knapsack. I highly recommended both of these ZTS testers.
