The old ammeter, can run backwards depending on which way you run the wire. You don't really need it to run and it doesn't effect charging or running. Just lets you know what is happening. No resistance from the gauge that would effect anything.

Some guys like to replace them with a volt meter as a ammeter can be problematic and can over heat I guess. works for me and never had a issue.
