Like I said before he might have a bad connection. If you have a good meter like a Fluke Series 3 or above you can actually measure Siemens. Zero the lead resistance and that will allow you to measure conductance through the system without dealing with lead resistance. Lead resistance always gets in the way on measuring very small resistances.

That would be the Anderson connector I was talking about like I said I think 3.2" is a little big.
They also use them on battery powered forklifts and pallet jacks. I even see them used for hooking up power for the aircraft at my Dads work. They are pretty much the defacto standard in high current connectors.and that's exactly how I pictured it in my head.
