I use a volt meter.
I have general guidelines that I keep in mind, like if a 3v coin battery gets below 2.8v I tend to replace it.

A multimeter. It's just a matter of looking up the minimum and maximum voltage values to determine how much juice is left.

Lmao. Great diag. I would think testing batteries is sort of useless. 90% of the time they just need to be replaced. Put in new, throw away old.
You don't even want to here my opinion on car batteries...Lol
