NO. YOu have got to use the ammeter jack and common jack on the meter and set the meter to the DC amps scale. Put the leads in series with the battery cable, that is disconnect the battery cable and connect one meter lead to the cable and one to the battery post.

THe meter will have (usually) two ammeter inputs, one rated for 10 amps or more, one for much less. Use the lesser and if you get NO current, you have blown the meter's internal fuse, so go get some spares first.

Pick up some clip leads so you can set up the meter and stand back and watch the current settle after about 20 seconds. THAT reading is what you want, not the initial one that will be higher as the modules are resetting.
