It failed often enough that it wasn't all that useful. A cheap battery tester is better. And for 9volts you can also use the tongue test, lol (don't really though). My grandfather used to do that all the time.
Everytime i test a battery like this, my wife just shakes her head and reminds me that I'm definitely from Kentucky lol
