I tested partially spent batteries all the time, because my childhood home was full of imps who would take one or two batteries out of a remote to power their DS or other handhelds, then replace them after gametime was over. So if the remote wasn't working it was nice to just check a battery for charge than to assume one or all batteries were dead before stealing batteries to game with.

Tap for spoiler

one of the imps was me

The DS had a rechargable battery, though.

You're right, I never had a DS! I forgot the name of the GameBoy and my old brain did a silly substitution

Pedantry! It's not a crime but it feels like one. Fitting for a defaultusername...
