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.

setting the current amount of amp hrs .. is slow
i haven't timed it, but i think the number count increases about 1amp hr every 2 seconds, so setting 400 or 500 amp hrs, as present charge/amphr count is a long time holding the button
before setting present state of charge, set the Amp Hr Capacity
that number runs up or down at a decent rate
and must be set first, because default is 12ampHr capacity and 6ampHr / 50 percent state of charge amphr count
meter will not let ampHrs count exceed Capacity
so capacity must be set first
with the 200amp version
readings below 10amps, are all over the place
trying to calibrate for a correct 4amp reading, really screwed up the readings when the generator was powering the converter
i had to unplug the meter and reset everything
maybe i should have got the 100amp version and took my chances with the shunt
the MW doesn't run at full power on the the inverter any way, so it might have been OKay..oh well
