For the AA-mignon rechargeable battery, that means a maximum current of 1.5 A
and for the smaller AAA cell a maximum discharge current of approx. 550 mA.
Now the resistor R1 is replaced. Instead of the 100 Ω resistor, the 1.2 Ω resistor
is now put into the plug board. If you push the wire button now, the LED will go
out. The load current is approx. 1 A when calculated with the formula R = U / I and
about 0.5 A when measured with the multimeter.
The practical measuring result may deviate from the calculated value. This is
because of the plug board contacts, battery holder contacts, cables, internal
resistors of the rechargeable battery, etc.
When the button is released again and the rechargeable battery has been charged
well, the LED will be lit as before. If it is not, charge the rechargeable battery. It has
not passed the stress test.
You can check the measurements with the multimeter: Without stress, the NiZn
rechargeable battery cell has, e.g., 1.75 V. Under load, the voltage drops to 1.3 V.
