Thinking back to my college days in Electronics...
I think the one point missing here is "impedance". Impedance is the power supplies internal resistance. This is what causes voltage to decrease as load on the supply increases.
Think of starting your car with the headlights on. Your headlights will dim as the starter spins because the voltage has dropped.
The second issue is in the nature of batteries. Their voltage decreases as they lose charge.
Simply put not all batteries are created equal. The only time it doesn't matter is when the load is low enough that it really doesn't matter. Something like a single led for instance draws so little current most any battery would do.
Disclaimer:
- I have not used a mod yet and only own a bone stock 510.
- I did not graduate from college. I passed a few electronics courses but that was over 15 years ago so I may be fuzzy.
