I also have one multitester.
Anybody know how I might use the multitester to tell if the batteries are good or not?

It seems Paul is just talking about a 1.5 V cells; not a big deal usually. Then again, I've used a $20 digital multitester to see what was going on with my car battery, no problems. Just be careful what you touch.

So the number of volts could indicate the amount of battery left, but it does not give a complete picture. A proper battery tester would be better. Yes?

Actually, power of battery also depends on the equipment you are using.
You can use battery useless for walkman in wall-clock and battery useless for clock in TV remote.
Though it is not recommended.

Often when batteries go bad they increase their internal
resistance, which means that you can measure the voltage with no current and get 1.5, but when you start running a curent, it drops considerably. And how bad is "too bad" depends on the the device.

Might be marketing strategy.
Most of the appliances recommend not to use old cells.
