2.5.12 Battery Temperature Sensing
Applying the proper charge voltage is critical for achieving optimum battery performance and longevity. The
ideal charge voltage required by batteries changes with battery temperature.
The battery temperature sensor allows the charge controller to continuously adjust charge voltage based on
actual battery temperature.
Temperature compensation of charge voltage assures that the battery receives the proper charge voltage as
battery temperature varies.
The entire line are compatible with Battery Temperature Sensing for increased charging precision.
It sends precise information to the charger, which automatically adjusts voltage to help ensure full battery
charge depending on the ambient temperature of your battery installation.
When the battery tempreture is over 40℃(104℉), it will reduce the charging voltage by 0.1Vdc with every
degree of temperature rise.
We recommend that you install Battery Temperature Sensors on all banks to protect your batteries and to
provide optimal charging of each bank.
The battery temperature sensor mounts on the side of a battery or any other location where the precise
temperature of battery can be detected such as battery mounting racks.
The following table describes approximately how much the voltage may vary depending on the temperature
of the batteries.
A Battery Temperature Sensor has
been provided as an optional
accessory, it should be bought
separately. It comes with 32.8’/10m
cable.
Important: If the battery temperature is allowed to fall to extremely cold temperatures, the inverter with a
BTS may not be able to properly recharge cold batteries due to maximum voltage limits of the inverter.
Ensure the batteries are protected from extreme temperatures.
