Yes, I agree. I wasn't really clear.
IF there is voltage - then monitor it when trying to start it. The Voltage should be at least 9.5V when the starter is running. (ok, I'm guessing on the loaded volts, but that is pretty common).
One tiny strand of wire would indeed be plenty to show batt voltage with no load.
