if you really need to check ampages then i suggest you invest in an LCD clamp type meter.....around £40 but money well spent.
just open the jaws and place around the cable to be tested.
put it around your leisure battery pos lead and it'll tell you instantly how many amps your pulling or around any individual wire and it'll give you the amps for that particular circuit .
only disadvantage is it must ONLY go around the + OR - wire....not both together.
as there is no direct contact it cant be damaged by overloading it.

mine has a range of 1 milliamp to 100 amps..both AC and DC current......enough for just about any test.
