Not a TriMetric, but for $20 might be worth trying out...
Bayite DC 6.5V-100V Digital ammeter voltmeter Amazon suggested this for me and I'm thinking for $20 I might just give it a try. Has very good reviews too.

And forfeit any data...
Pretty much. Accurate V/A meters start from $60, and since the OP gizmo doesn't measure AH, comparing it to AH meter like Trimetric is apples to oranges.
Measuring charging amps... and doing what with this data? :)
Doesn't matter that your battery "likes" drawing 55A, what matters is that recommended current for 225 bank is 45A. Limiting charging current is the charger's job, not the charger owner's. If you are trying to guesstimate SOC from how much current it's drawing - the accuracy of this method will likely be the same or lower than that of LED Christmat lights on OEM panel that reads "full-50%-empty".
