(my bolding)Well .. the diode has voltage/current curve going up (higher voltage -> higher current) .. battery has it going down (higher current -> lower voltage). Where they intersect, there it will stabilize.
And just to complicate matters the diode "resistance*" will drop as it heats up and the battery voltage will drop as they discharge.
*Vf or forward voltage/voltage drop.
