Overloading A D.C. Inductive Panel Ammeter?
I have no experience in this area. I want to use an inductive DC PANEL AMMETER rated for 100-amps on a battery charger rated at 157 amps max. Their 200-amp inductive gauge has a resolution of 3 ...

What I love about the hall effect ammeter is that it can be put on the (+) battery cable. I used to have my HE sensor readng total alternator output, but once that cursiosity was satisfied, I moved it to the battery cable.
Should be noted that they provided a 2 meter 3 wire ribbon cable for my meter for between sensor and display, and I cut this in half and added some about 5 feet pf 22AWg wires to its center. This could be why mine bounces around 0.6 amps from actual, or perhaps it would do sao without this midification, I know not, Its not a big deal. Sometimes it does not bounce around that 0.3 amps +/- actual.
I just like seeing how much amperage the battery accepts a minute after starting the engine, and watching that decline as I drive. Well worth the 18$ I spent for it.
Glad to see there are so many other hall effect ammeters on the market now.
