crank it for a few seconds bout 10 seconds. then measure the voltage at the battery. what is it across the terminals?

take and put one lead of a meter on a terminal and the other on the case of the battery do in different spots. what does it read?

next hook a amp meter up in series to the positive cable and tell me how many amps its drawing..
