Recommendations for a battery tester? I'm open to other devices that aren't limited to testing batteries - eviltoast

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 :)

    I was going to say this as well. A multimeter is good to have in the house for certain situations and since they’re pretty cheap (~$20) it’s a good investment if you ever need to test fuses or voltage, continuity, etc.
