Wayne,
Basically any flash light bulb. You can use a 3V bulb and do 2 batteries,
or use a 1 1/2V bulb for single batteries. The key is to have some sort
of a load, but not a real big one. If the battery is weak, then almost
any bulb will be enough of a load to drop the voltage enough for you to
tell with a volt meter.
