Default Checking battery life

Once again I ask for help in this wonderful hobby that never ends.......

I would like to be able to check the charge of my batteries while at the field and every time I go to the LHS, they do not have any meters in stock. I keep trying to look for one online, but have had no luck in finding something - more because I am really not sure on what to specifically look for.

I do have a multimeter from radioshack and is there a way to be able to use this to check my batteries? I have leads from a field charger that will fit into the multimeter and then fit into the battery connections. This is the meter I have:

If this is not suitable, can anyone recommend something for me? If I do have to purchase a new one, I would rather buy a digital meter that has load bearing on it.

Thanks once again for all the help.
