does any of the off-grid controllers...

since a battery monitor is often recomended here and I may be looking for a new off-grid controller I wanted to see if anyone knows of an off-grid controller that has full battery monitoring available?
not metering, full monitoring that tracks amp hrs in and out with a shunt.
Id rather have it all in one unit with a remote meter but also able to connect to a laptop for programing and data aquisition.
thanks

Outback offers a battery monitor option for their controllers. I don't know anything about them.
Apollo also offers an integrated monitor (something from Bogart, iirc). Apollo was dropped by our host because of high field returns.
I like Xantrex and Victron Energy battery monitors because they have a controllable output you can programs based on state of charge. Nice for an alarm or a custom generator controller.

The Apollo solar charge controllers have a built in trimetric monitor.
