From time to time I would like to properly load test different types of
used alkaline batteries such a AAA AA C D and 9V. Does anyone have the
load specs on this or perhaps a chart showing what the minimum terminal
voltages would be under load for new or used batteries of the sizes
mentioned above. Thanks, Lenny Stein, Barlen Electronics.

We have had interesting results testing the ESR of batteries using Bob
Parker's ESR meter kit. I have a chart on:

Perhaps you can make a baseline for your batteries then you have a
potentially non-destructive process to quickly evaluate batteries
without loading them down. Or not.
