This is a great organizer with plenty of space our battery supply. The tester works well and is nice added bonus. I liked it so much I bought my dad one as a gift.Not completely full and went to pick it up when….SNAP! Goes the handle! ???If you're like me, and have a kid with lots and lots of toys that drain through lots and lots of batteries, all different types of batteries, you have a pile or stash somewhere of just a ton of different batteries. This pile is probably okay, until you need one specific battery, and if you open the mega value pack of batteries wrong, they all want to spill out, so you put them in a baggie somewhere and, well the situation gets more and more unwieldy and tidy.Well, this case solved 95% of that problem! And did it very nicely.The case is attractive, made of a durable cloth cover over a hard plastic shell with a foam insert that is pre-holed to allow for the batteries as listed in the description.The foam insert isn't just pre-scored for these holes as is so common these days, no, it was pre-holed already, so open it up and start popping in batteries. Very nice.It took all the AA,AAA, and 9V batteries that we had. We had more than eight C and 6 D batteries, so this wasn't quite large enough for all our needs, but still a tremendous improvement. We have some off size batteries, CR21 (look like stubby AA batteries), some AAAA batteries (thinner than AAA), and some smaller button cell batteries that don't fit nicely. Also, they list LR44 as fitting, but in my experience they end up sinking deep into the slot so they are no longer really easily accessible, so I just put those in a bag and into the zipped mesh area in the lid.The Battery tester seems to work just fine... I wouldn't trust it as being dead on accurate, but it will tell you if a battery is still new, or nearly depleted of charge, and that's good enough.... It has it's own slot in the case as well. But, good luck trying to use it on any button cell type batteries. I've seen other testers that have a slot you slide those into instead of trying to 'pinch' them with the calipers, that would have been a nice improvement here.I really can't complain at all about this case, other than maybe something that isn't the cases fault, but the fact that once it's filled with about 110 batteries of all sorts, it's rather heavy. But it also has a handle that is comfortable and useful enough to carry the case. It's not all that bad.There's also a business card sized clear slot on the outside cover, I guess to put in a label of some sort if you needed to.If you need or want a convenient storage solution I think this is a great option. And it's very good quality at that.This is a very nice and organized way to keep your batteries instead of searching through drawers and cabinets trying to find them. It holds a decent amount of each kind. The only issue I have is the case doesn't latch. The top just rests on it. I feel like if it dropped the batteries would go all over the place. Other than that it's a very nice case.I should have looked at the types of batteries that I actually have before selecting this case. It's a great case. It's small and light, but fits a LOT, and is durable enough to hold the weight of all the batteries, and protects them with the sturdy outer shell. But for the excess of the CR123A batteries (shorter but wider than AA) that go into Arlo cameras, and the 2450 button batteries that go into various sensors, this isn't the best case. As shown in the photo, I can make it work. The slots for the button batteries could be better though. They are just a slit in the foam, not an empty void of removed foam. This makes it kind of tricky, but mostly annoying, to get those ones in. But again, it'll work. Unless you have the same weird variety of batteries that I do, I think this case would work very well, especially for the basics of AAA-D & 9V.This definitely helps organize my batteries, especially since I buy batteries in bulk packs from our local warehouse store.I like this organizer for the most part, but I wish the holes on the bottom underneath the battery compartments weren't so big. What happpens is I had some extra AAA batteries, so I wanted to place them in the last row of the AA spot, but I can't because the hole in the bottom is too big and the batteries fall out. I know the slots were made for a bigger battery, but I figrued I could see the difference and just store the extras in the unused rows. It's still easier to see than having them scattered about somewhere else.The other thing is there is not much storage for button batteries. There is just a tiny spot near the battery power indicator and this spot is for the thinner cell batteries.I did manage to cram my extra AAA's in between a couple of the 9v (rectangular) batteries. Extra thin button batteries I left in their packaging and slid them into the unused rows/columns in between the C & D battery columns. All my thicker button batteries I just put in a tiny snack bag because they don't fit into this organizer.Overall I do like this and it keeps the bulk of my batteries more organized and easier to get to.The Keabys Battery Organizer with Tester, Waterproof Carrying Case Holds 200+ Batteries AA AAA C D 9V is good. It is well made, the case fabric seems to be of good quality and the foam has a good density.I liked a lot this battery case, it holds a lot of batteries and helped me keeping all in the same place. I removed one star because the battery tester BT-168 (or "bettery" as it is printed lol) is cheaply made and does not even has a spring to keep the battery in place while testing. I would rather preferred to have more batteries places for types like 18650 than received this tester. I am happy with the purchase.
