Absolutely not. If there is high resistance, it is due to bad connections that need cleaning and reassembly. That would be for both ends for both positive and negative ground cables.

Lower terminal on the starter solenoid is where the battery and alternator wire bolts together to make the connection together. The wire that you see bolted to the engine block itself, is the battery negative wire connection point. And most of the time that you have charging problems, its these two connection points the problem at hand.
Or, where the positive wire off the battery passes down behind the passenger head on the engine before it bolt to the starter solenoid to make the connection point to the alternator positive wire) , the wire loom and positive wire shield gets rubbed off, and the positive wire actual grounds to the engine block to cause a intermediate shorting in the wiring isntead.
