Re: detecting life in batteries
I'm still not sure what exactly you want.
What you might want is a battery load tester. It tests the battery's ability to maintain voltage under a load. It is the easiest way to determine if a battery is defective.
If you are talking about testing a good battery while you are using it, a voltage sensor would tell you when the battery is discharged.
