Reading the Ebay description, I believe that you would need to install an external shunt to measure the current drain from a battery. It will measure current directly, but if you look at the terminals, you can see that they are rated for 20 A, which is about #10 wire. Good for measuring one circuit only.
I can understand the calculation for watts, but Ahrs I'm not on sure. It would need a clock and cumulative storage. I'm guessing Ahrs is just A times something to give an instantaneous value that suggests what it would be if the current was steady for an hour.
