1. An apparatus for measuring electrical current passing to and from a battery post, comprising:

  • a resistor, the resistor being in the shape of a sleeve so as to be coaxially received on a battery post and to provide an electrical connection to the battery post, the resistor having a known resistance and a first conducting surface and a second conducting surface, wherein current flow from the battery post travels through the resistor from the first conducting surface to the second conducting surface of the resistor and current flow to the battery post travels through the resistor from the second conducting surface to the first conducting surface of the resistor;

    a first lead electrically connected to the first conducting surface of the resistor; and

    a second lead electrically connected to the second conducting surface of the resistor.
