Default DC Ammeter Sensitivity Increased?

current draw would be so I grabbed one of the foglight assemblies and
connected it to the Eico 1050 battery charger/DC power supply which has
been part of my garage tool clutter for nearly 50 years:



Er, are you feeding a peak reading meter the unfiltered output of
a full wave rectifier?



Just dropped back in, and in response to your question, the EICO does
have a pretty large filter cap in it, though I can't testify to how many
of its microfarads may have grown legs and run away over the years.

However, the check I performed against my bench supply, which is
definitely well filtered, confirmed the ammeter's calibration error.


I got a few giggles reading some of the interchanges on this thread I
started, between "Homer J Simpson" and others.

I'm thinking that some of the participants' alimentary canals may have
somehow gotten completely reversed. Medical miricals, to be sure.
