Upgrade NowPreping for Red Glare, any problem with installing my 9V battery 3 weeks in advance? Fresh battery but I would like to prep everything so it's ready to go.

Do you really want to draw 5A from such a battery as a test?

(If that times out as it generally does for me, try one of these links or do a google search):
This is the only one that didn't time out.

Look at the Constant Current Performance graph (about 2/3 down on the right), and extrapolate out to 5A. Your battery is dead rather quickly, and likely this much current draw (if it will even do it - I didn't look up the internal resistance but it is high for 9V alkaline) would damage the battery in short order.
These batteries are not of a design/chemistry suitable for high current draw.
IMHO, of course.

PS - From a non-authoritative source, the internal resistance of a 9V alkaline cell is about 1.5 ohms. Max current available from the battery would be on the order of 6A if new and then shorted. I'd expect a damaged battery after this test.
PS - This link may be of interest as well, as these tests were done at current levels that begin to approach our usage: https://www.powerstream.com/9V-Alkaline-tests.htm
That still stresses the battery.I agree that high current draw from a 9V is not a good thing, but I touch the meter probes to the battery just long enough to get a reading, about 0.5 second, if that.
