Thanks for watching the videos. Yea, I would agree the subject may not be very exciting for some, the videos aren't really intended to be entertainment by any means. More aimed at demonstrating/clearing up some long-held misconceptions about this charging system and the ammeter specifically. The Mad article is still out there somewhere, still seeing it linked to continuing mystical "spontaneously combusting" ammeter discussions from time to time. Most seem miss the point that the article was about the fiasco of the later plastic framed ammeter in late-seventies Dodge trucks. Bulkhead connector charge path terminals have been the weakest link in the charging system since day one. Adding loads at the battery just makes the issue worse by placing the ammeter and related connections well outside of the current they designed to handle.
