tigergto, this sounds brilliant but I'm having some difficulty picturing this in my head. As I said earlier, I'm naive when it comes to anything electrical.

OK, so; this is how I picture your suggestion;

1) Remove the negative battery cable
2) Hook up the voltmeter to the negative post on the battery (inline?) and ground clamp.
This is where I get lost. I believe the voltmeter has a negative and positive? So on the volt meter, I'm hooking up a lead to the Neg post on the battery and a lead to the ground clamp? (ground clamp? The Neg cable?)

Let me stop here so I understand this step by step. Thus far something about your idea sounds good. Thank you.
