Re: amp gauge
I don't have an amp gauge but shouldn't pegged left mean no charge? I'm pretty sure on an amp gauge that the current goes through the gauge to get to the battery so if your charging and the gauge doesn't show it's probably a bad gauge.

Re: amp gauge
Pegged left should mean a heavy draw on the battery with no charging. Amp guages suck, they really don't tell you anything useful.
