Ammeter Gauge: Description and Operation
The ammeter is an instrument used to indicate current flow into and out of the battery. When electrical accessories in the vehicle draw more current
than the alternator can supply, current flows from the battery and the ammeter indicates a discharge ( - ) condition. When electrical loads of the vehicle
are less than alternator output, current is available to charge the battery, and the ammeter indicates a charge (+) condition. If battery is fully charged, the
voltage regulator reduces alternator output to meet only immediate vehicle electrical loads. When this happens, ammeter reads zero.
