Save Money On Batteries With This Great Small Battery Tester - fixed1t Recommendation

For years I've been buying

If you've watched the video and like me you want one:


 Small Battery Testers

 Only to feel I've been Ripped-Off When I Discover They Are Utterly Useless and either don't work or give some spurious full or empty readings.

This may sound trivial, but when you put multiple Alkaline or other batteries in a device, they are not all discharged at the same time or to the same amount.


Whilst some batteries in a group can be apparently flat, 2 or 3 other my have 60 or 70% charge remaining.  Therefore is best to have a tester that gives you the voltage, remaining current and perceived load so you can decide which alkaline's to use a bit longer and which you'll throw away.

I've Found One That Works And Recommend It, below is my fixed1t video if you haven't seen it.


If you've watched the video and like me you want one:


Using this will save you time and money, it does for me.

BBC News - City of Hamburg Bans Nespresso Pods

In February 2016 the BBC ran a piece called:

Is there a serious problem with coffee capsules?

"The German city of Hamburg has banned coffee pods from state-run buildings as part of an environmental drive to reduce waste. "  Looking at their so-called green procurement policy " the German city of Hamburg last month introduced a ban on buying "certain polluting products or product components" with council money. The ban includes specific terms for "equipment for hot drinks in which portion packaging is used" - specifically singling out the "Kaffeekapselmaschine", or coffee capsule machine, which accounts for one in eight coffees sold in Germany."

The problem is not that the individual components within a coffee capsules cannot be recycled, its that mixed together they are difficult, expensive and time consuming to separate and are therefore a expensive contaminate to the recycling system.

Nespresso do not apparently give figures on the amount of returned pods that are recycled and how many are dumped, often people think that because Nespresso has a collection service for old pods that these are all being recycled ethically and re-used.

This is why I decided to investigate this myself and to work out a method to enable me to recycle any of the Aluminium capsules I use which a often the Nespresso brand, as other use plastic pods.


The instructions in my video show how to quickly separate the components in their recyclable parts so that you can drink great coffee but not add to the problem.

Leaving the recycling to the manufacturer merely passes the buck and clears the conscience if you believe they are ethically disposing of them.  But lets face it, big business isn't renowned for its willingness to use 'profit' to help the environment when there are cheaper options.  Shareholders aren't pleased to be told their dividend was spent clearing the waste ;-)  But read the article yourself.

The Nespresso Coffee Machine has heralded in the mass use of the one-off quick use Capsule And Pod coffee making and drinking.

People have wrongly assumed that these COFFEE CAPSULES and PODS are recyclable.  Sadly this is not the case due to their mix of metal and organic matter.  But for those that care about the environment but want to drink their lovely fresh coffee, this is how fixed1t recycles them! #fixed1tENVIROMENTALtips
