Not between battery cables.
0-ohms would mean + and - cables are connected, a short. If that was case, as soon as you connect cables to battery, it would make battery send huge amouts of current across and blow main fuse. Unless you have accessories that's always on, there should be open-circuit between battery cables. You can test your meter's readings:
1. Touch probes together, should read 0.0 ohms, no resistance, short-circuit, full continuity
2. Pull probes apart, no continuity, open circuit, infinite resistance. Most meters read 1 when leads aren't touching as indicator of this state.
