> Connect a 3 volt battery to a .01 ohm load (a dead short, almost) and 300 amps of current will flow Except it won't, of course, because all real batteries have internal resistance. (How much depends on the battery chemistry and size.) Probably the 700mA rating for the AA battery is into a dead short.
