1. Throw away you ammeter or ebay it) and replace it with a volt meter 
so you can see what is really going on.

2. Take your car to most any auto parts store. They can test the 
condition of your battery and your alternator for FREE.

      <div>1971 TR6.  Driving home last night I noticed my ammeter was
        at the + sign, half-way between neutral and full.  It is a 40
        mile drive, stayed there the entire way.  I stopped to pick up a
        pizza.  the car cranked and started as usual after a 20 min
        stop.  Ammeter was now halfway between the neutral position and
        the + sign.  today I checked volage of battery from pole to
        pole: 12.60 volts.  Start the car today, cranked and started as
        usual, ammeter shows normal - slight charge at first then to
        neutral position.</div>
