Testing a rechargeable battery with a multimeter is a straightforward process. First, set your multimeter to the DC voltage setting. Then, attach the red lead to the positive terminal of the battery and the black lead to the negative terminal. Check the reading on the multimeter to see the voltage of the battery. A fully charged battery should read close to its rated voltage, while a depleted battery will have a lower voltage reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To test a NiMH battery with a multimeter, follow the same steps as testing a rechargeable battery with a multimeter. Set the multimeter to the DC voltage setting, attach the red lead to the positive terminal, and the black lead to the negative terminal<\/a> of the NiMH battery. A fully charged NiMH battery will have a voltage reading close to its rated voltage, while a depleted NiMH battery will have a lower voltage reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are a few ways to tell if your NiMH battery is bad. One way is to check the voltage with a multimeter, as mentioned above. If the voltage reading is significantly lower than the rated voltage of the battery, it may be time to replace the battery. Another way to tell if your NiMH battery is bad is to check for physical signs of damage, such as leaks or bulging.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow do I know if my NiMH battery is bad?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
