In the past I hooked a regular automotive dash type Amp Meter to 1 new Bosch Glow Plug that was not in a car and wired it to a fully charged Battery.
The Amp Meter pegged out the gauge at 60 amps (60 was the highest reading on the gauge) for 1 second or so and settled down to about a constant 16 amps after the Glow Plug was Yellow Hot.
