Chasing Current

So with a bit of time this evening, it was time to see why the battery went flat.

Out with the trusty multimeter.

Here are the results:
Off 0.00 A
Acc 1.75 A
On 5.37 A
Off 0.00 A
Acc 1.74 A

So basically it looks like I am a goose and my hunch is right... I left the ignition on accessories and (at least) the Gen warning lamp in the dash drew 1.75 amps.

But should the Gen warning lamp be on in Acc? Doesn't sound right and will surely have something to do with the high charging voltage we are getting.
