I'm trying to test some 18v batteries. Need to know which holes to put leads into and where to set the knob.

Don't tell me to GTS. I'd rather get human advice.

Click one more clockwise to the ohm / diode checker (2 clicks clockwise from off) and touch the leads together. It should read a really small number and make a noise if they are ok. You are shorting out the leads to make sure they are functional.

I had made jumpers to jump the batteries together but I was also using them to test the power of each battery because the leads on the multimeter were too thick to get in the battery slots. I think I was just getting a bad connection to the battery.
