Assumption: Your battery cutoff is on the Positive side of the battery.
Then if you measure between the NEGATIVE post and ground, you better read 0
volts since they are the same point electrically. You will measure 12 volts
between the POSITIVE post and ground......
... or did you mean AMPS? If you did mean AMPS, that's a hell
of a current draw....
So first we need to know exactly what the battery cutoff is cutting
off and exactly what you are measuring.
