Switch the DMM to "DC" voltage, place the black lead on the negative end, the red lead on the positive end, and read the meter. Most batteries have about 1.5v when they are new. Radio batteries are sometimes 9v.

Batteries are sill ok to use down to about 0.7v, after which time they will begin to fade depending on what they are being used for.
