I'm curious if anyone here has ever damaged their ammeter by using an alternator. It seems to me that if high current will cause damage it would come from the battery not the alternator. The battery can output several hundred amps while the alternator has a definite max at high rpm. Maybe this is a solution looking for a problem? As I see it the only time the alternator will push even close to its max amps through the ammeter is when the battery is totally discharged.
