Simple Battery Tester?

Does anyone know if someone makes a cheap battery tester that simply holds the battery, puts a light load on it and assumes you own a DVM to measure the voltage?

I just rigged up a battery holder (for AA) and connected a 100 ohm resistor from one contact to the other.

** That MIGHT give you a fair indication of condition for the older kinds of non-rechargeable cells and batteries.

But will not much use with alkalines nor any use with the rechargeable types, with the possible exception of " sealed lead acid" or SLA types.

Cos the latter all hold their voltage very steadily over the discharge cycle.
