Patrickt: I'm showing a discharge---the ammeter is going negative. You'd expect your regulator to compensate for the load and the ammeter to return to zero---you're not drawing excess current from your battery. This drained by battery down in 20 minutes such that I didn't have sufficient current to crank the starter...

I don't think the ammeter is lying to me. It's never lied before...
