The inexpensive 100 amp Drok voltmeter/ammeter I employed on a project had no choice but to be wired on the (-). It was not very accurate either outside a 2 to 35 amp range.
It would read 0.0 amps when 0.72 amps were still flowing. Could not calibrate it any closer.
for sub 40 amp loads I use this on some devices:

Mine are actually different versions of that the above link, that came with aluminum 12awg leads, but I removed them and soldered 8awg leads to circuit board and use 45 amp Anderson powerpoles to splice it inline on most any of my loads, or charging sources.
With a load and source side, it only measures current flowing in one direction, but the AH and WH readings are very useful
