In my case I will be looking at 25AMPS DC current drain with my 12VDC loads and also will want to see how much DC Current the battery bank is demanding when I am in CHARGE MODE. Hopefully I don't have to change any wiring for this...
My OLDER XFRM Sensor does this quite easy using a MINUS symbol on the display. Hoping this one does something similar...
My homemade DC meter panel already has two each 12VDC meters to measure the static DC Voltage on each of my two banks... I have BLUE SEA Battery switches that allows me to use one bank - both banks - OFF

This tells me both battery banks are now showing 12.03VDC and my 12V loads are drawing a total of 18 DC AMPS... Its time for me to shut down and go into BOOST charge mode soon using my generator running my PD9260C to get my batteries back up to their 90% charge state in a three hour generator run time when I am camping off the grid.
The reason i need more of theses is I need to do some additional DC current monitoring for some other items and of course like to play with them too hehe...
