Introduction
1.5.1 Battery Temperature Sensor
A plug-in external Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) is provided
for units with the battery charger feature. 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, battery life may be shortened. See Section 3.2 for more
information on the BTS.
