Just an example, you could have a memory mode in your am/fm radio that holds your stations and clock when everything else is turned off, this will show a 12 V draw on your meter but it only draws very little current (amps). The one wire alt you installed may show 12 V constantly but very little actual current draw, provided it's a healthy alt.

May those who love us, love us, any of those who do not love us, may God turn their hearts.
And if God is unable to turn their hearts, may he turn their ankles so we may know them by their limping.
A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist.
