Over the last several years, I've had projects come and go requiring mostly the use of both alkaline and lithium AA batteries. As some of the oldest batteries have ended up leaking, what's a good way to test the remaining ones to see if they're worth keeping or not? I have no idea of their ages, some of them could be a month while some several years. I know I can use a DVM or analog voltmeter, but many times I've tested this way and supposedly good batteries only lasted a few minutes or several hours in a device and thought there might be a better way. I just need to clear out all questionable AA's.... too many on the shelves. Thanks.
