understanding my ammeter

    While under my car the other night I discovered a loose wire from
the alternater. Upon investigation I found that the big one (that
connects to the ammeter had also come loose.I had noticed a slight
discharge my last time out and now that everything is reattached I am
reading 15-30 on the plus side at 2500 rpms. I thought it would come
back down to 0 after a few minutes of driving but 15 minutes later it
still read high. Should I be patient and give the battery time to
recharge or should 15 minutes of driving be enough time for the ammeter
to work it's way back to zero. This stuff mystifies me.
