Sounds to me like you already have it figured out. Yes the cut out is just an on/off switch. No it doesn't monitor the battery. Charge rate varies by rpm's & nothing else. If my memory is correct(CRS) the engine ignition system is using about 5 & 1/2 amps while running. That leaves you with 4 & 1/2 amps charging the battery when the genny is maxed out. Pull the lights on and you're using all 10 amps at least. Don't have a clue how you gauge is hooked up but it isn't giving you an accurate reading on what's going back to the battery.

The soil is a rich dark brown and is well looked after. unlike some areas in the midlands it is also fairly flat, broken only by hedgerows and the occasional valley and brook. A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
