it's like 50% to 60% percent.
The tester basically does what it is supposed to do and that is to show the battery value. The question is whether it's not too little for about five kilos. This is more of an indicative measurement of the batteries in terms of whether the battery is no longer to be discarded.
Regarding accuracy - I'm not so sure about the exact values. I just did a quick measurement at home - no laboratory conditions - measured with EMOS and Voltcraft multimeters.
AA batteries - Varta - EMOS multimeter 1,35V, Voltcraft multimeter 1,35V, this tester 1,33V
AA batteries-Panasonic-Mult. EMOS 1.35, Multim. Voltcraft 1,35, this tester MS-229 1,30V
AAA batteries - Varta - EMOS multimeter 1,48, Voltcraft multimeter 1,49, this tester MS229 1,45V
We are on tenths in total, hundredths is worse, for five hundred I might expect more accuracy (resp. ok both multimeters can be bad). Otherwise, other minus points have already been written here by other customers. The fact is that it also switches off when measuring, and that's a bitch. Like, when you measure 10 batteries and it goes out every third time, it's a pain in the ass. Also that after each switching off you have to choose the measuring range again (whether it is 1.2V or 1.5V and others). Resp. every time you use on/off. If you have it turned on it will only darken the display, but the voltage value will remain. When you put OFF/ ON you set it again. Furthermore, it bothers me that there is no CZ manual in the package. The display has quite small letters, you can see it, but it could be backlit.
For people who don't have a battery tester at home, why not (but consider the price). It's good for a "yep, I can throw this one away" orientation measurement. Those who have a multimeter at home will be fine. Resp. in general, you can use a cheaper multimeter, which will show more accurate values and can cost about 250 or 300Kč (you will only "fight" with cables and it will not be a pocket pack)
simple operation
indicative battery account (which are and are not to be discarded)
Small size (fits in your pocket)
plastic, but decent workmanship
switching off even when measuring (not switching off as a defect but to save operating batteries)
small and not very easy to read display (it would like a backlight)
after each switching on (ON/OFF) the desired voltage must be selected - the default value is 1.2V
Missing CZ manual
Price (multimeters can be cheaper)

It is fully sufficient for evaluating the condition of the pencil batteries. Reference voltage can be set for both rechargeable and alkaline batteries. The factory default value is 1.2 V (for NiMh or NiCd batteries). Can be easily changed to 1.5V, 3V etc.
The memory does not hold the last set voltage value. After switching on, you have to set up again. That's a little annoying. There are many 1.5 V alkaline batteries in our household. So we are continuously switching from the default 1.2 V to 1.5 V. But it's a little thing you get used to.

Remaining capacity in %, selection of the type of voltage,
small measurement delay. automatic switching off so on measuring 3 batteries and again must switch on and select the type of measurement.

With the MS-229 tester, you quickly get a perfect overview of the condition of the battery you are checking. I recommend it!
The tester has a built-in limitation of measurement time per switching on. This is to prevent the operating battery from discharging if the operator forgets to switch off the tester.

I immediately know which batteries need to be discarded and which are OK. Practically for all common battery types.
Perhaps only the automatic shutdown - it's a bit disturbing when testing. The tester must be switched off/on.

A good modern solution for checking batteries
The percentage rating will give a true picture of the battery
too bad it doesn't remember the last set values
