My battery will soon be dead. If I wired that light bulb right to the battery, my ammeter would show that I was charging to the tune of 60 amps but my battery would still be dead pretty soon.

Got it. Thank you. Super helpful.
My Holley efi wiring schematic shows that power should come directly from the battery so that’s probably where my funkiness is coming from. |
