I should add to WHOYOUFITNATRY's comment by saying this process required unrelented massive pressure from one's fingertips to get a reading.

There are two separate portions of the battery that you have to press on at the same time. After a few seconds, the black bar (1/2)

Only child. My father decided his daughter should lick 9 volt batteries all the time. Got him back with my therapy bills during college.

It was a gimmick back in the 90s. Theoretically, the meter would tell you how much power you had left, but in reality it's kinda iffy.
