Don't do that at all!!!!! With in doing that, you will not only happen to ruin the motor or battery, but if there is a shirt in the motor, this is the same thing as just placing a solid wire across two battery terminals, that will cause a short. Also with a short circuit on a battery directly, this can cause the battery to have too much current flowing through it and will cause the battery to most likely explode and or ignite on fire... Common physics and electrics never make a direct connection across a battery without a breaker or an output with resistance in series.
