Anyone carry a battery tester? If so, at what voltage do you change batteries.
Also, fwiw, I'm opposed to Ni-Cad or Ni-MH rechargeable batteries since a) they probably won't fit my battery box, and b) when they go dead, it's usually without any notice. My alkalines will let me know either with a distorted sound through the pickups, or a lower than normal output level.

Tongue test. Gives me as much accuracy as I need.
