Im still curious tho.
Disconnect the ground from bat one. Place a volt meter between ground post of bat one and the frame ( frame or wire used to simulate the frame). Read the voltage. I contend that it will be 12 v when clutxh is engaged.


Disconnecting bat 1 ground and there will be no reference to measure to. The meter will just become part of the circuit and could only measure current with any degree of accuracy. I'm not sure my meter could tolerate almost 3 amps on the voltage scale without self destructing. Any voltage measured at that point would depend on voltage drop across a resistance. Hopefully, with proper size wires or clean connections to frame there is virtually no resistance to be developed between the clutch and battery post.
