A friendly hello to the specialists.
I have now got an analog measuring device and was able to measure the battery voltage perfectly. With the engine stopped I had 12.4 volts, with the engine running it was 14.2 volts. Even at higher engine speeds, the voltage didn't go any higher. So everything works as I wanted it to. The idiot light also goes out immediately after a short press on the accelerator pedal and the alternator then charges as it should.

The system is switched to negative ground. I have installed the original ignition switch and an additional main power switch. So I am sure that no more current is flowing.
Thanks to everyone, this forum is just so great and helps so much with the experts on the forum !!!
Thanks again to all !!!
