Re: generator output
None of the repros are made to function as well as the old OEM ones.
A person can test one with a low battery and a battery charger with correct voltage. Connect the amp meter in between the charger and the battery to read either a charge or discharge depending on polarity of the connection. It should read close to the amp meter on the charger if a person still has an older charger that has an amp meter on it.
If the internals melt or get crusty then the meter is toast. If the little magnet loses it's gauss then the meter will not go back to the zero position. If the needle dislodges from it's support then it won't read at all or at least not correctly. They all wear out eventually.
