How does the wiring for your "battery meter" (Magnum monitor) get to show the amps to the battery from the solar controller? AFAIK you need a shunt somewhere there.
The ME-BMK has a shunt which measures current going into or out of the battery, as I understand it. Magnum offers these for about $165 and they just work with their inverter/chargers and give you the display through the panel you already get with the inverter.
Interesting! There are several folks on here with that sort of inverter/charger who might not know they could maybe do that with theirs.
