i just bought a digital multi tester w/ battery test function for 1.5v and 9v batteries. everytime i try a working battery ( i know it is working coz im using it) it just indicates three zeros “000″ what does that mean? is my tester working? if a tester is working what’s a good battery and one that needs to be charged supposed to read?

test using the DCV range.
The battery tester part uses the DC volt meter with a load on the DUT [device under test].
If you still get 000, then I would say that the battery tester portion is bad, but if you get the same answer under the DCV meter, I would be looking elsewhere. Assuming, of course, that the DC V meter reads correctly.
