Hi,
I'm a newbie and wanting some advaice. I just purchased a multi-meter and
was wondering when I check the charge or voltage of a 1.5 battery, do I
place the switch selector to DCV on 2000m or do I place it on 200m?

Assuming 'm' means 'milli', then 2000m = 2V, so you place it on 2000m.

I am
confused as to what is the correct choice and proper voltage selection.

You place the selector switch on the range which is higher than, but
closest to, the voltage you expect. If you don't know what to expect,
always start on the highest range and switch down until the meter
gives you the best reading without going into overload.

Be extremely careful on high voltages.

I know that for a 9 volt battery I place the selector on DCV 20 and I correct?

Yes.
