How do I test a battery for its drain, life, etc.? I'm assuming there is a specific product that gives you all the information on your battery that you could want.
How do I test a battery?

nope. because there is no way to know the amps, wattage what kind of device it will be in, how efficient the electronics would be etc.
the only way to tell is use it for a week or so. (the first charge or so on a new batt is kinda shallow)

The mAh rating (ie AW IMR 18650 2000mAh) can provide a very rough estimation of the battery time. 100 mAh = 1 hour. 2000 mAh = 20 hours. This is figuring you will be using the battery at a fixed 3.8 volts; higher voltage will decrease the battery time. However, mAh ratings are often dubious at best, especially for lesser quality batteries.
Hi
You want to head to a place like HobbyKing and check out the Imax charge/discharge units those guys use. IMAX B6-AC Charger/Discharger 1-6 Cells (GENUINE)
It's not the kind of thing the majority of us do or use though.
