I'm not suggesting you dismantle anything.

You could fit a battery and see whether the resistance ranges work. Just select each range in turn, touch the test leads together and see if you can zero the scale at the right hand end using the OHMS control.

Then how about measuring the voltage of a 1.5V and 9V battery?
