    Really, 23 mOhm is a lot for a battery. The battery tester I have only works properly when attached right at the battery terminals (or metal immediately adjacent.) It does not work well at the jump point. The voltage is read properly at the jump point but the SOH is much much lower there than at the battery.

    I made sure that both clamps on + and - were tightened so that they won't wiggle -- what else could I do to ensure that the connection isn't bad? Thank you!
