Coolhand, the method you used testing the motor is fine, but you need to know what your doing. You are allmost shorting the cell at 0 ohm, and 1 cell can trow out a 110A+ so the motor might get burned if you keep it on too long. testing a motor is easy; Just whort two wires at random, and you should feel a pulsing resistance, if you short them all three, the resistance should be equal, no matter what possition the rotor is in. (it works like a generator that way)
