voltage which is how batteries are usually measured since "under load
voltage" is obviously dependent on the load.
Actually, to nitpick, dry cells at least are properly measured under a
light load, because as they age, they develop higher internal
resistance. Measuring them with a high impedance voltmeter will
suggest they're good when they're not.
