1.5.2 Battery Temperature Sensor
A plug-in external Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) is provided
(Figure 1-8). When installed, the BTS automatically adjusts the
battery charger’s BULK, ABSORB, and FLOAT voltage set-points
based on temperature for better charging performance and longer
battery life. If the temperature sensor is not installed and the
batteries are subjected to large temperature changes, the battery
life may be shortened.
The BTS cable comes with a RJ11 connector that plugs into the BTS
port on the side of the inverter (Figure 1-4, Item 9). Refer to Figure
2-4 for installation instructions, and to
Section 4.4 for information
on the operation of the BTS.
