That is a lot on half charge.
I suggest the resistor in the system has been shorted out.
The original resistor looks like a spring, and may be located in the base of the control box, or in a mounting on the dynamo.
On half charge, it is in series with the dynamo field coil, and so reduces the output.
The main control of the output is by moving the third brush on the dynamo, as I guess those articles will explain.
My point is, if you are getting 12 amps on half charge, the circuit needs to be investigated
Assuming you have a standard dynamo.
