No. I was measuring charging AMPS provided by the alternator to the battery through the positive clamp of the battery terminal (with a "clamp over" type of ammeter. It seemed as it varied between 10 and 85 amps just after starting the vehicle.
Of course, there are the glow plugs also drawing current right after start up...
So this could be the explanation?
ANyways, I'll redo the drain amps from the battery with the engine turned off and see what's the current... hope it will in milliamps this time!
