I would want to see a drop to less than 1 amp going in.
1A @ 14.5VDC indicates a partially charged battery. I'd want to see a fraction of an amp at that voltage for a full battery.
A hygrometer [sic] would be the best way to tell how fully your battery is really charged, but current measurement while under charge can be informative.
As has been mentioned, the best way to determine state of charge is by using a hydrometer ... The backup method is to monitor how the battery charges (i.e., will it take a charge).
Perhaps you should do more careful reading and less typing.
Or you just like repeating what I said?
That's okay, but please don't reply to me like you're saying something new.
