How to test the battery?

Hi,

I have the _feeling_ that the original Canon battery for my M3 is faulty.

Usually, at the weekend when I go for a walk, I grab the camera, take a few dozen images and afterwards the camera goes back onto the shelf. Next weekend: same procedure. I only charge the battery if it's completely empty. So I don't have any numbers to verify my feelings.

What's an easy way to test if the battery works to specification? I can't reproduce the CIPA procedure at home.

Oliver
