The Xantrex Remote Battery Temperature Sensor is a precision sensor that monitors battery temperature and transmits data to compatible Xantrex charge controllers and battery chargers for automatic temperature-compensated charging.
Product Overview
In marine battery systems on boats, this sensor attaches to the battery case or terminal to provide real-time temperature readings, enabling PWM/MPPT solar controllers and TRUEcharge3 chargers to adjust charging voltage dynamically and optimize flooded lead-acid, AGM, or gel battery life in varying engine room or bilge conditions.
Key Specifications
Cable length: 25 feet (7.6 meters)
Temperature range: -40°C to +80°C sensing capability
Connector: RJ11 modular plug for Xantrex BTS port
Technical Specifications
Enables automatic voltage compensation for flooded batteries, preventing over/under-charging based on temperature (adds voltage when cold, reduces when hot).
Compatible with Xantrex 30A/60A MPPT controllers, Freedom XC/BC chargers; over-temp shutdown above 70°C or below -25°C.
IP65-rated sensor withstands marine humidity, vibration, and salt exposure.
