If the ammeter moves into the "discharge" side, then it's wired correctly. If it moves into the "charge" side, it's wired backwards. If wired backwards, the fix is easy: Disconnect the battery and reverse the leads (all of them) on the back of the ammeter, tighten them down and reconnect the battery. Hope that helps.
