The chargers have led lights that are supposed to represent the charging state of each battery, and they seem pretty reliable, but we just use a standard multimeter to test batteries. That Wel-bilt tester seems like it would work fine, but it doesn't seem to do anything that a multimeter couldn't. Anyways hope this helped!

The only thing a multimeter will tell you is voltage. You can charge a battery that is shot to 13V, but it could drop out on you 15s into the match. A multimeter won't catch that.
