Q: 1. Does this device help me determine the life of my Powerex Pro Rechargeable AA NiMH Batteries? Will it tell me the total rechargeable life of the batteries and not only how much current charge is in them?

A: No, this tester only tells you battery charge and how it reacts to a load, it does not tell you the longevity of the battery.

Q: 2. Will this work for button cell batteries like A76 and other film camera batteries - 28L, Wein cell 625... ?

A: I dont think that your A76 camera battery can be successfully tested on the ZTS Mini Multi-Battery Tester MFR # MINI-MBT. The specifications are: 1.2V NiMH / NiCd rechargeable (AA, AAA, C, D) 1.5V alkaline (AA, AAA, C, D, N)3V photo lithium (CR123, CR2) 9V alkaline and carbon zinc3.6 V lithium-ion (18500, 17650, 18650, RCR123A)And according to this website, your A76 is 1.55 volts, so maybe you could use the 1.5 alkaline post? But the 28L is a 6 volt Manganese Dioxide Battery.medicbatteries battery-cross-reference-guideBut take a look at another ZTS product; MBT-1 battery tester That will test the A76.

Q: 3. Can I use this device as a splitter to make a backup recording on a Zoom H6 for example?I mean, I have a shotgun mic. I split the signal in two, put it in two inputs of the recorder... I don't want to use a Y because I could lose a lot of gain on the two outputs. Or do you have other devices that can do this? Or a good mixer (I mean affordable 300-500) to to team with the H6 that can do this? I plan to use it with a Shotgun AND a Lavalier. So 2x2 outputs. Thanks! ;)

A: This device is designed for line level signals only. Splitting a microphone signal is never a good practice as there will be signal loss and added noise. A mixer, not a splitter is the way to go. The Mackie Mix8 (B&H # MAMIX8) is an 8-channel compact mixer that features high quality components, a rugged metal chassis, and is designed for a variety of sound reinforcement applications. The mixer features two mic/line inputs with 48V phantom power, two stereo 1/4 line inputs, and stereo 1/4 aux send and return. It is capable of accommodating dynamic and condenser microphones, keyboards, DJ setups, portable music players, and more.Each of the two mic/line inputs is equipped with XLR and 1/4 connectors, a dedicated 3-band EQ, aux send, pan, level control and an LED overload indicator. The two stereo 1/4 line inputs each feature an aux send, 3-band EQ, level control, balance control and also have an LED overload indicator. a href= http://bhpho.to/1sLQeDj target= _blank http://bhpho.to/1sLQeDj/a

Q: 4. Does this unit require external power? if so, how much and on what kind of connector?

A: The Whirlwind Line Balancer/Splitter requires no external power and is designed to split a single line level input signal into two balanced line level outputs. A choice of two output configurations is provided: one direct output and one isolated output, or two isolated outputs. The Line Balancer/ Splitter uses Whirlwinds TRSP-600L transformer and has a frequency response of 20 to 20kHz, 1dB @ +2OdBm.On the Line Balancer/Splitter are two male XLR jacks, one female XLR jack, a 14 jack and three switches as outlined below:INPUTEither of the two input connectors, a female XLR jack or a 14 TRS jack (Tip = Pin 2 and Ring = Pin 3) can be used for connection from a line level source, balanced or unbalanced. Use only one input at a time.OUTPUTSThe male XLR output connectors can be configured in one of two ways. The ISOLATED OUT/SPLIT 1 is always transformer isolated and the DIRECT OUT/SPLIT 2 is either directly connected to the input or transformer isolated, depending on the position of the OUTPUT SELECT switch.OUTPUT SELECTThis push-button switch selects the output mode of the unit. In the out position, the DIRECT OUT/SPLIT 2 provides a direct output signal and the ISOLATED OUT/SPLIT 1 provides a balanced 600 isolated signal. In the in position (the center of the switch changes to orange) both output connectors provide a balanced 150 ?isolated signal that is attenuated by 6dB from the input.GND/LIFTSEach of these switches disconnects the ground between the inputs and the XLR outputs when set to the LIFT position. Grounds remain connected when set to the GND position.This product is warranted to be free of defects in materials or workmanship to the original purchaser for a period of 3 years from the date of purchase.

Q: 5. Does this tester tell you the percentage of charge left OR how much capacity or life is left in the battery before it stops working and you have to buy new ones?

A: This tester has 5 LED to show battery capacity left in 20% increments.

Q: 6. Will this test UPS/APC batteries?

A: UPS BATTERIES ARE SEALED LEAD ACID (SLA) BATTERIES, ZTS HAS OTHER TESTERS FOR SUCH BATTERIES, NOT THIS ONE.

Q: 7. Does this have an internal battery or not?

A: This ZTS tester runs on four AAA batteries.

Q: 8. Does it test 1.5V AA alkaline batteries? (The specs say: A, AAA, C, D, N. Presumably the reference to A is a typo.)

A: Yes; the ZTS Mini Multi-Battery Tester tests both 1.5v alkaline AA batteries as well as 1.2v nickel metal hydride (NiMH) or nickel cadmium (NiCd) AA rechargeable batteries.

Q: 9. Is this made in usa?

A: Yes, this is made in the USA.

Q: 10. Will this unit test the shield on a shielded Cat6?

A: I did not purchase this unit, I bought the lower unit dedicated to analog audio. Your answer may be best answered by the manufacturer. On my balanced audio cables it does not test the shield.
