DON'T DO THIS! If there is a short and if it is in the motor (which is definitely possible), you will be causing a direct short across the battery terminals with no circuit breaker/fuse in between for protection! In addition to probably welding the motor leads to the battery, you can damage the battery, the motor, and even possibly start a fire.
