How to check the lights on instrument panel

I have an extra instrument panel for both my 83 W123 and 86 W124. Can I check all the bulbs in their sockets with a 12 volt battery, say a small drycell to use in the house in the winter time or could I even do it off the battery charger. Is there anything back of the panel that I would ruin if I probed it with 12 volts?
