Solar Controller Battery Draw Amount?
This is a confused sort of post because I am confused. I was trying to get to the minimum amps for knowing when my AGMs were truly full and to do that I tried to get all the other draws down to ne...

Doug is wrong, unless you've wired in a non-standard way.
If an inverter/charger is wired directly to the battery, and not via the shunt, any current in/out of the battery from/to it won't be seen by the Trimetric. Everything should go through the shunt, even if you need a bigger one to support whatever current is drawn when using the inverter. How big is your inverter? The Trimetric will work with up to a 1000A/100mV shunt, and I'm guessing you don't have a 10KW inverter.
