Some comercial battery testers for 1.5V cells load the cell with a 10 ohm resistor. This might give an ok reading, but I think you might want to go down to about 4 ohm to simulate the solenoid.

I remember a thread about one year ago covering what was required to check the battery under load. Joe R was involved in the discussion so you might look at some of his old post to find it.
