I’m slowly switching to rechargeable ones (Ikea Ladda ones), but we still have lots of other batteries around.
Do you have a favourite device to test them with? Ideally it could test many different types (regular, coin), but I’m ok with just AA/AAA if there is a cheap/reliable option.
When I did a search just now, I saw recommendations both for and against multimeters/voltmeters. Some said it was easier, and others said that it wasn’t accurate because of testing under load.
Thanks :)

If you’re doing the typical household batteries like AA/AAA, then you can get a pretty cheap kind like this one Amazon link for this specific one a.co/d/hrW6U45
I got one off Temu for less than a $1 and I use it all the time. Its only power source, as far as I can tell, is the battery, itself to move the needle. So if it doesn’t show a result, then it is a dead battery.
