If they are not rechargeable, they don't make sense, you just use them and throw them in the used up recycle pile. And if they are rechargeable, you already have a charger that does it.

It also has to be a waste of some resource that is rare to not use up and throw away like this.

There were cheaper ones with a tester attached to the box, maybe they were energizer?

My dad used to just put them on his tongue for a power check. Not entirely sure how that worked. Personally I just use a multimeter.

Just use your $200+ Fluke to check the batteries, problem solved.
