Dave investigates the ionic electro-chemical resistance of some Alkaline batteries under light multimeter input loading and an unusual physical battery phenomena, and explains how it differs drastically from the datasheet internal resistance value. He also finds a surprising result showing two types of Alkaline battery construction with different properties.
It demonstrates the usefulness of a high resolution bench multimeter.

Dave responds to the furore over his thumbs up rating on the Agilent U1253A Multimeter
And it's all about the love, really.
ADDED COMMENT:
Agilent make the exact same meter in an LCD version (U1251A or U1252A) with longer battery life. So you get the choice of display vs battery life!
