On its own a simple multimeter won't tell you much about the condition of your battery. You have to test the battery under load to get an idea of remaining charge. You can get battery testers that work for most Ni-mh, Ni-cad and Alkaline batteries and are reasonably accurate. The one I use is ANSMANN AG - Battery Tester Energy Check LCD - Battery Testers & Accessories - Rechargeable & Primary Batteries but there are other brands that work just as well, just stay away from the extra cheap ones that are simple volt meters with no built-in intelligence.
