High reading in my amp meter

Got a new battery and it lowered it …runs around 5-7 amps now
 
As an electrician, I have used clamp ons for amp metering for many, many years at the plant. I have total faith in using them for all levels of AC current feeds. But do not trust them for low level DC feeds. Im sure they have improved by todays standards, but I would install a second manual meter in the line temporarily somewhere to verify actual current draw and your original and clamp on meters accuracy is correct.
PACER AMP PAC made a great DC clamp on ammeter.....0-50 amps on several scales plus a shunt for +100 amps readings....battery operated.....available on ebay.....perhaps new also........
