Hi OnaQuest,
I'm sure you did not mean it--but your post sounds a bit aggressive.
Just to set the record straight the Hall Effect meter shows positive and negative flow of amps.
It is rather neat to see the solar system sending energy to the chassis and lowering the load on the alternator.
I already have a volt meter (two, actually). I'm just offering options.
No offense or aggression meant, Pianotuna.
I simply wanted to point out, for the OP's benefit, that there was more function available in the unit being discussed (for nearly the same money) than in a single amp meter. (Shunt or Hall effect technology not withstanding.)
The physical installation of the DC resistive shunt may be more difficult (labor intensive, cable logistics, etc.), but the electrical implementation is not any more complicated.
The DC shunt works well with my simple TriMetric installation.
