something like this

And a charger like this will tell you how much power the battery has after being charged.

Just some extra options on the table for you to consider.
Best advice I've read in awhile. I bought a similar charger to one you recommended, and the cheap eBay batteries I got only rated at 1000mAh, not the 5000 advertised.
I bought some Panasonics that the seller claims they test for rated value.
Thanks again! The cheapos still have their place for backups and I'm looking forward at charging/testing some others that I have to gauge the rip-off value.
Edited to reflect more accurate testing results on the cheap batteries.
