Most multimeters do come with 4mm plugs, like this one:

It has 4mm connections so you can make your own cables or use a charger cable.
But if you want to measure the status of the battery you need to do that with a load like a resistor or a lightbulb.

Those come in the Mercedes electrical test lead set, close to $600. The clear shields are spring loaded and push up in to the housing.
Found these on eBay, the ends aren't shielded, but pretty close. Many of the "shielded" ones are rigid, not going to work on a battery.

Had the bullets from a bunch of old charging leads and the Dean Wet Noodles 12awg from the wiring on my car. Just found the right multimeter. That was (kinda) easy, lol. Just gotta wait for the motor analyzer.
