I have fashioned a few sets of battery cables, of various sizes, when I was a mechanic, to use for this purpose. I have an old set from an old Toyota tercel that is slightly larger( and I mean only slightly) that the Kats. My goal isn't to start the bike with this battery, just to assist with diagnostics.

Also, by adding wire to the battery leads (lengthening them), you are introducing more voltage loss over the small wires. The system will pull more amperage as a result, and you run the risk of cooking wires. Due to this, and lower voltage, the coil test will probably not be accurate. This is well documented here in posts where people have bad batteries and have tried the very same thing with crappy results. Seriously, just wait for the new MC battery. Do it right.Last edited by 05RedKat600; 03-28-2012, 10:41 AM.

This is what leads to cooked wires, regulators, charging systems, and starters. Especially when you add in wires to connect it to the system. But hey, what do I know? It's not like I work with DC voltage for a living or anything.

Now, tell me how increasing R leads to higher I with a constant V.
Any burned up anything is the result of something failing to ground (or a reduction in Resistance or Impedance), which is what was draining the battery. This only made it look like a bad battery, because no one took the time to see if that was actually the problem.
So yes, in that case, I would not recommend hooking up any kind of battery, as 300 CCA will cause just as much of a fire as 750 CCA.
Why? Resistance goes to basically zero, I goes up, and VI = P. Too much P and you get fire.

It is hard to argue with George Ohm, but I have also ran into Mr. Murphy and his law as well. I=v/r always works on paper. I have found trusting in people with real accredited experience. Usually works in the garage
