Non-Contact Voltage Tester Tools,Black-Red LED Flashlight,Buzzer Alarm,AC Voltage Detector Pen,Test Range 60V - 1000V for Live/Null Wire Judgment

Q: Does the wire have to be stripped for it to detect voltage? or can it detect it at the part that is lightly insulated?

I did not have to strip the wire to detect voltage.

Q: Does this drain the batteries when not in use?

Based on Mike's measurement of about 13uA (0.013mA) the batteries should last over 9 years. (I measured less than 10uA) AAA batteries have a capacity of about 1,000 mA-Hours. With a drain of 0.013 mA the battery will supposedly last 77,000 hours or 3,200 days or 9 years. However, the literature says an alkaline battery with no load will be dead in 5 to 10 years. The bottom line - this tester will be alive for years with the batteries installed.

Q: does this unit test dc current?

No. It detects a varying electric field, which only an AC voltage can produce, via capacity coupling. Not that even in AC, it detects voltage, not current; no current has to be flowing in the wire for the detector to light up.

Q: does it come with batteries?

It does not come with batteries You will need 2 AAA batteries
