the temperature sensor is really nice

temperature sensors make a big

difference because as temperature either

drops or hires if it drops the voltage

increases if the temperature rises the

voltage drops it's an inverse

correlation and so you want to make sure

that you actually have your batteries

charged at the right voltage for the

right temperature if you don't have one

they're going to assume that the

batteries are charged at 77 degrees

Fahrenheit which is rarely the case you

know in the Pacific Northwest most of

the time here the batteries are you know

located in the Hall of the boat the hall

is in a water that's around fifty five

sixty degrees Fahrenheit and so it's

actually going to be rather cool so the

voltages have to be higher in the

Pacific Northwest but if you're both in

Florida you know the water is 80 88

85 80 and now suddenly you know you and

the air and your batteries might be in a

hundred degrees Fahrenheit and so then

you want the voltage to be lower so

having a temperature sensor connected to

the primary battery is really going to

be helpful to actually make sure that

the batteries get the right voltage

under bulk absorption float a battery

temperature sensor is essential in

actually making sure that your batteries

are not only going to get the correct

voltage for the right temperature but

also know if ever there's a thermal

runaway so they're going to actually cut

off the charger if the batteries

overheat too much they're actually going

to pull off the charger so that would be

a really good and don't put the

temperature sensor anywhere put it at

the battery that you think is going to

be the warmest so if there's for example

we were on a boat where there's nine

batteries they put it on the corner

battery and the corner battery that was

probably that had the best ventilation

it was easiest one to put this

temperature sensor but then what

happened was the batteries in the middle

all swollen up and the one in the corner

didn't see it because unfortunately you

can't have nine temperature sensors and

so what we did is we ended up putting at

the warmest battery and you can use an

infrared gun for that to figure out

where is the warmest battery and make

sure that the one that's going to be the

warmest is where the temperature sensors

you
