The voltage behavior under a load and charge is governed by the current flow and the internal battery resistance. A low resistance produces low fluctuation under load or charge; a high resistance causes the voltage to swing excessively. Charging and discharging agitates the battery; full voltage stabilization takes up to 24 hours.
One of the main reasons that battery voltage dropping under load is because the current passing through the battery causes resistance. This resistance creates heat, which in turn reduces the battery’s ability to deliver power. Additionally, as a battery discharges, its internal resistance increases, which also contributes to a voltage drop.
When the battery is open you are measuring an open cell voltage. When the battery is in the system it's closed cell voltage under load. You are dropping some voltage across the internal impedance of the battery because your system is drawing current when the measurement is being made (so at the terminals the voltage is indeed lower).
Applying a charge or discharge places the battery into the closed circuit voltage (CCV) condition. Charging raises the voltage and discharging lowers it, simulating a rubber band effect. The voltage behavior under a load and charge is governed by the current flow and the internal battery resistance.
When a battery is connected to a circuit, the electrons from the anode travel through the circuit toward the cathode in a direct circuit. The voltage of a battery is synonymous with its electromotive force, or emf. This force is responsible for the flow of charge through the circuit, known as the electric current.
However, it also reflects the fact that the ions in the electrolyte, which are involved in the production of energy, have limited mobility, and this limits the current available and reduces battery voltage under load. However, just to make your life difficult, it is possible for a battery voltage to rise with increasing load. I've seen it.

Does Battery Voltage Drop Under Load
In most cases, the battery voltage does drop when a load is applied. This is because the load draws current from the battery, resulting in an internal resistance to the flow of electricity within the battery. As a result, the voltage across the terminals of …

10.2: Electromotive Force
Introduction to Electromotive Force. Voltage has many sources, a few of which are shown in Figure (PageIndex{2}). All such devices create a potential difference and can supply current if connected to a circuit. A special type of potential difference is known as electromotive force (emf).The emf is not a force at all, but the term ''electromotive force'' is used for historical reasons.

Current flow in batteries?
In your battery example, there is no return current path so no current will flow.

Why does a battery have a limit for current in amperes?
A battery can be modeled as a voltage source plus a series resistance. The current results in a voltage drop across that resistance which manifests itself as a voltage sag. So, a 9 V battery may read 9 V when not used, but may read, say, 8 V under load. The remaining 1 V is across that series resistance and it wastes power as heat. {Source: me}

Why does a battery have a limit for current in amperes?
I recently learnt that the voltage of the battery (for example, a 9V battery) is constant at their bounds, whereas the battery current depends on the load that is connected to it.. If I connect a 12V car battery to a smartphone in cigarette lighter socket my phone will only draw for example 50 mA but my computer a little more, for example 100mA.
