Sure it is, just split the red and black sides of the cable by pulling them apart, until you have enough lead. My cable is the std. one that came with the std. $19 BT. However, connecting to the battery is fine in 99.999999% of cases. Attaching to a ground away from the battery is just an added precaution.
