ya surely can apply the digital multimeter directly .i
measured voltage of battery at the time of cranking the
engine in genset for check the battery is low or not in my
field by using RISH multimeter but i didn't measure current.

you can measure the voltage by connecting the voltmeter

Answer / vinod g

Before the answer we know little about battery:
The battery rating is expressed in AMPERE HOUR ie. 100AH
or more. In automotive rating is too high. for eg 100 AH
means this battery is capable giving 10 amps for 10 hour
(say C10) without reducing the specific gravity below 1190.

Ans: We can measure the voltage across the battery (normaly
this method only using in Industry). Current can not be
measured as ammeter is carrying very low resistance and if
u try ur meter will be damaged and may lead the battery
damage and acid flash, so take care
