the TCM is under the steering wheel above the under dash panel. You might ask

0.9V lost in the cable, _while cranking_, is something near a 10% loss!

Have you ever put a load tester on that battery? I have had batteries that

would drop to below 7 volts, which is a failure I've forgotten over the

You are paying for the delivery of one small (relatively) load vs. a full
