Default Re: Testing Starter

Kurt, that is really good data.

For those who want to do their own test, there is something called a battery shunt. It is a resistor with low resistance that is placed in series with the starter. The voltage across the shunt is proportional to the current. So measuring the voltage at the shunt will tell you the current.
