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. It's just telling you how much the genny is putting out. That may be the way all cars were wired in the thirties. If it were wired like a tractor you would be showing a slight discharge any time you weren't at full throttle with the lights on. Yes I would keep a close watch on the water level and I woulden't consider an Optima. It might work but I woulden't trust it to not go BOOM.
