The main problem I see with this unit (and many but not all of the digital DC ammeters available on Amazon etc.) is that it can only measure current in one direction. You can monitor battery charge current or battery discharge current, but not both with the same device, at least without an external switch to reverse the shunt sense lines.
I just bought this Drok ammeter here on Amazon - reads DC current in both directions. Only reads amps and not volts or power tho. Needs a 5 VDC voltage converter and shunt. Bought a separate Drok voltmeter to use along with this. Total cost under $40. I initially bought a Drok combo amp/volts display which only reads current in one direction and then decided I wanted to read both directions. I have no need to monitor other than DC volts & amps.
