Pure 1970s–1980s Radio Shack nostalgia, this Micronta Battery Checker (Cat. No. 22-098) turns simple battery testing into a piece of pop-art design. Sculpted into the shape of iconic red-and-black Enercell 9V and D-cell batteries, this compact tester tests both 1.5V and 9V household batteries using an integrated analog meter dial at the base. Complete in its original bright yellow hanging box with the original $3.99 price tag, it is a fun, functional slice of tech history for retro workspaces or Radio Shack collectors.
