CONTROL PANEL 10.
Ammeter
The Ammeter indicates the amount of current, measured in amps, that is being drawn
by the battery. As a battery takes on a charge, it draws less current from the charger.
Correspondingly, the meter will show less current being drawn by the battery. When the
current stops decreasing, the battery is charged. The start area of the meter indicates a
high rate of current being drawn from the charger. When cranking an engine, the meter
needle will be at the extreme right side of the start area. The 2 amp charge rate may
indicate some activity on the meter, although the meter does not have the resolution to
display this low rate.
