The biggest benefit I see with the Kid+Wizbang or a Classic+Wizbang is ending amps. SOC is a bonus.
When do you ever get to "ending amps" while camping? There is always some draw or other on the battery.
Trimetric uses a form of ending amps to say when the battery is back to full. Problem is they go with something like 1 or 2 percent of AH capacity which means you at more like 98% SOC, not full. I just don't use any of that business with my Trimetric. I just use the voltmeter, ammeter, and AH count, and figure out the rest myself.
I really like the Tri can get much use out of it, but the whole notion of using it to calculate when you are back to full is so bogus, starting with the required entry of bank AH capacity. (Which varies by temperature, but not after you enter that number--no temperature compensation on that number )
The Wizbang can replace the Tri, but must suffer the same problems in use. You have to cherry-pick the good info from it and ignore the other stuff.
