Re: ammeter pegs even when battery is fully charged

ammeter moves to center when shut off. Meter seems to be OK. I will try to make an accurate measurement with an external meter.

Re: ammeter pegs even when battery is fully charged

Yes it pegs positive. I don't get warm fuzzys about the accuracy of this meter. I may try to measure it with my Fluke before adjusting. Do you have experience with a current measurement like that?
