Technician A says that proper starter operation depends on the battery being at a 95% charge and battery cables being of the correct size (gauge) and having no more than 0.8-volt drop. Technician B says that voltage-drop testing includes cranking the engine, measuring the drop in voltage from the battery to the starter, and measuring the drop in voltage from the negative terminal of the battery to the engine block. Who is right?
