Certainly such meters are not uncommon. From time to time Aldi sell multimeters (not always the same), and quite often those have had battery test ranges. In fact, they will have one for sale this Saturday here in Oz (or at least in NSW where I am).

I'm not sure about the one they have coming up now, but ones that they sold before did not have a go/nogo indicator, it was up to the user to make that judgement based on the voltage reading. Given the sort of people who buy these meters maybe that does not work out. I know of somebody who bought one of the previous Aldi meters. He tested a few batteries with it, and his judgement was that the meter was defective, because the readings were different to those on another meter he had, which did not have battery test ranges! He ended up returning it to Aldi.

I haven't seen a good battery tester yet and thus if a mulitmeter that has that feature I woudn't want it.
BILLPOD:
I am a believer that batteries should be tested under the load of the device they will be used in.  So for me a tester should have an adjustable load.  :popcorn:
