I used the voltmeter and found one dead battery and one non-dead battery.
The device is a remote temperature probe. I got it working again and it told me something I already know: it's hot outside.
I don't have a voltmeter. Maybe I should get one.
Then I wouldn't have to swap out the battery with a new one to see if it works, chucking the verified-dead battery into the face of my obnoxious neighbor upstairs.

Fleeb, Harbor Freight has some very inexpensive voltmeters. They are not high quality, probably shouldn't be trusted for important or accurate information but to get s simple reading off them they are fine.
Harbor Freight has coupons in each Sunday paper, occasionally they have a coupon for a free voltmeters with any purchase. H.F.'s usual price is usually under $6, I picked up one for two or three dollars with a coupon.
Here are some video reviews.

If you are going to use a meter every once and a while these are fine. If you are using it everyday invest in a better quality brand.
I might do this.
I don't often need such a test, but I might waste fewer good batteries if I can test them first before chucking them at the neighbor.
My daughter and I are cleaning up gangsta rap.
We came to the realization that "Easter Bunny" has the same cadence, and the same number of syllables, as "motherfucker".
This led to us bringing up a karaoke version of "Still" and singing/shouting "DIE EASTER BUNNY DIE EASTER BUNNY DIE"
Yesterday was Cinco de Mayo, *and* it was Taco Tuesday. Such a serendipitous coincidence ... but no one went out to party because of a virus ironically called Corona.

I need some cheap-and-deep disks to store backups, so I looked on Best Buy for NAS drives. And while shopping I got a pop-up in the corner saying:
"Need help? Chat with a Blue Shirt!"
Obviously I clicked it. The conversation went as follows:
Laura S (17:28:55 GMT) : Thank you for choosing Best Buy, my name is Laura S. How may I assist you today?
Laura S (17:29:00 GMT) : Good afternoon! Who do I have the pleasure to be chatting with today?
Visitor (17:29:05 GMT) : Are you really wearing a blue shirt?
Laura S (17:29:28 GMT) : How may I assist you today?
Visitor (17:29:53 GMT) : The button said "chat with a blue shirt". Before I can trust you with my business I need to make sure that you are actually wearing a blue shirt.
Laura S (17:30:33 GMT) : Yes, we are able to help you in all of you need
Visitor (17:30:49 GMT) : Please answer the question.
Laura S (17:31:07 GMT) : Yes, we wear blue shirt
Visitor (17:31:20 GMT) : That is all I needed to know today. Thank you!
Laura S (17:31:30 GMT) : Is there something else we can help you with today?
Visitor (17:31:44 GMT) : Nothing else, I am completely satisfied.
Laura S (17:32:05 GMT) : Thanks for contacting BestBuy! If anything else come up remember we are 24/7, enjoy the rest of your day. Wish you a great day with a big beautiful smile over your face, Bye!
When asked to provide a customer satisfaction rating, I gave "Laura" (clearly not her real name given the obvious Chinese-inspired grammatical errors) 5 out of 5 rating because she was wearing a blue shirt.
He hacked her webcam?
But how do you know she was wearing a blue shirt? If she lied about her name then why wouldn't she also lie about the pigments in her shirt?
