Right solution for monitoring dual Group 31 Truck Starting Heavy Duty Batteries?

I’ve got a problem with our truck batteries with a parasitic draw, maybe, as well as that it may not be being charged in all the ways I think it should (alternator, generator, solar and/or shoreline). I’m trying to find a monitoring (and possibly control switch) solution that would be able to handle the set of two diesel Group 31 batteries that are each almost 1200 cold cranking amps (https://www.batteriesplus.com/productdetails/SLI31SA is the batteries we have right now).

I ask the question because I'm just not sure how the surge in power to start is different for these monitors vs. the ones for the house batteries that are for longer use, but with a far lower power burst.

Is there a VE product that would work as a battery monitor (hopefully Bluetooth) that can handle batteries of this type and size?
