Thanks Chuck 49
Not if you leave the large gauge wire connected directly to the battery. The path of least resistance is still the larger cable so a load on the alternator side of the ammeter will still show a discharge. The only way to get the ammeter to indicate correctly is to disconnect the bypass cable and run all the current through the ammeter. And thanks for the kind words, Sweetie is blushing. grin
