When not, the BATT does not show the proper numbers..

Do you want to switch the WP 34S to full load just for measuring the voltage by BATT?

d:-?

Of course YES! When you measure the wp34s current in the key_scanning_mode it takes maybe 150uA current, when you switch to let say 30MHz it takes for example 40mA current. Provided the internal resistance of the CR2032 is 10-1000 ohm (based on its capacity consumed, up to 100ohm at 60% used) you may easily calculate the difference between the measurements.. (done for you - see below for a single CR2032 cell, for 2 in parallel half the Rin).
PS: try to measure your car battery after a year of having it resting on the shelf in your garage - you will measure 14V when not loaded happily, but your car will definitely not start
