[QUOTE=moter;341414]"High resistance = low amps, and not hot cables." WEll...this is kinda correct...but not quite... High resistence thru a cable or connection will mean LOW voltage and there will be LOW amp flow...A Hot cable means whatever you are trying energize something it is drawing to many amps and the Voltage to this unit will be low.[starter] If the battery cables are too small they cannot carry to load and get warm.

Ok, I think I see what you are saying... high resistance cables will heat with low amps. Ok, that makes sense. And of course, since the voltage drop is across the cables then the voltage to the starter is low. AND since the circuit resistance is higher, then you have low amps.
