  • Page 40 The controller can detect the battery temperature through an external temperature sensor. The Battery controller stops working when its temperature exceeds 65 °C and restart to work when its Overheating temperature is below 55 °C. When the temperature detected by the optional temperature sensor is lower than the Low Lithium Battery Temperature Protection Threshold(LTPT), the controller will stop charging and discharging automatically.
