Default Re: battery woes

O K it's a new day and ..........removed the fan belt and generator not spinning. As far as battery charging goes I don't know exactly how much charge I am obtaining as I don't yet have a hydrometer. I have been giving a 4 amp charge for up to 12hrs. I have disconnected the lighting harness from the cutout to eleminate a draw form there,Still the battery drain problem. After running the engine for a 15 min. drive around the neighborhood (ammeter @10+ ) I notice after shutting down , key off , ammeter goes to -10 or shows discharge so I bump the starter and ammeter returns to zero? So do I have a sticky starter switch,should the ammeter always return to zero only or is a drop into neg. normal? Still working.
