Who is "no-one" ?  How many people do you know that has tried? What

were they using, a $10 multimeter from Tandys?

Zero resistance = super conductor.

Since superconductors are never found outside a laboratory it is safe

to assume that your battery cable has somewhat greater than zero

resistance.



Cheers,
