Gregory's Server@TechConnectify 100% agree - it's a cool idea but the problem it solves just isn't that big of a deal. I know batteries are dead because the thing using the batteries doesn't turn on.

@baralheia @TechConnectify That's true but, I find that "sometimes" is pretty rare. If I pop non-fresh batteries into something and it doesn't work, I don't bother testing the batteries - I pop in fresh ones. If the thing still doesn't work, then I can be pretty confident it's not the batteries. I could have a battery tester around and that may save me a trip to a store for fresh batteries. But I can get batteries at any store and there's usually something else I can get while I'm out anyway. @jprjr @TechConnectify I mean I definitely do get your point, but for me being able to easily and quickly test batteries takes the guesswork out of "is it the battery or the device?" I also don't like discarding consumables like batteries before they are just too weak to be useful. I have a standalone battery tester now to solve these problems, but the PowerCheck feature made this super simple. I personally really miss these batteries! |
@jprjr @TechConnectify Sometimes it's useful to know just how much charge is left in a battery though, like, say, if you remove the batteries out of something that no longer works or something that you're storing away. It's also useful to be able to quickly see if the reason the device stopped working is a dead battery, too.
