  • Page 16: Operation Of Battery Temp Sensor

    OPERATION of BATTERY TEMPERATURE SENSOR The temperature sensor allows the charging voltage to be automatically adjusted depending on the battery and ambient temperature. This function increases battery life, by reducing output voltage and current due to high ambient and/or battery temperature. This sensor is screwed onto the main battery’s positive terminal (a service/house battery as a general rule).
