And as I mentioned there, member T-Bone converts the '76-'87 style voltmeters to fit '67-'72 gauge clusters.

Yes, you are correct. The factory battery gauge worked fine in the original electrical system, but when we (and in this case, I mean me) "improve" things with larger gauge wire connected from the alternator to the battery terminal on the starter, then that factory system no longer works like it should.
