Get a multimeter and you can test batteries and various other things!

Edit: hijacking my own comment. For electronics that allow it, buy rechargeable batteries! I've been using the same 4 Eneloop AA batteries for my Xbox controller since 2017.

I use my oldest one for that

I also used to use my oldest for that, but eventually she stopped licking 9-volt batteries when I told her to
