just use
the ammeter, or maybe add a volt meter for monitoring the electrical
charging.

Anyone have any comments about this?  Does it sound right?

>>>If you hook the one-wire alternator up using only the one wire, then 
yes, what they are saying is true--which is an excellent reason to hate 
one-wire alternators.

However, most one-wire alternators have provisions for two more wires, 
which add much-desired functionality to the system, including proper 
voltage sensing and a functioning GEN light.
