Step 2 - Check if the Overall Battery Voltage Equals The Operating/Rated Voltage Next, take your multimeter and plug the black probe into COM and the red probe into mAVΩ. Then set the multimeter dial to DC voltage mode. Additionally, most multimeters are not auto-ranging so you will have to set the correct range for the voltage you think you will get. In our example we expect to get 36 volts; however, it’s possible for 2 volt cells to sometimes get up to 2.5 volts so we should set our multimeter to at least 45v (because 2.5v x 18 cells = 45v). Next, place the red probe on the positive terminal of the battery and the black probe on the negative terminal of the battery and record the voltage (see the following example).
