Installing the Battery Temperature Sensor
The Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) port is for connecting to the Battery
Temperature Sensor, which regulates battery charging based on battery
temperature. Installing a sensor extends battery life by preventing overcharging
in warm temperatures and undercharging in cold temperatures. This port is also
considered part of the DC interface (see Figure 2-11).
To install the Battery Temperature Sensor:
1. Pass the end of the Battery Temperature Sensor cable through a conduit hole
and insert the Battery Temperature Sensor plug into the Battery Temperature
Sensor port.
2. Route the cable to the battery enclosure and connect the ring terminal on the
Battery Temperature Sensor directly to a battery terminal (recommended),
or use the adhesive backing on the sensor back to attach the sensor to any
side of the battery to be monitored.
If using the adhesive backing, install the Battery Temperature Sensor on the
side of the battery below the electrolyte level. It is best to place the sensor
between batteries and place the batteries in an insulated box to reduce the
influence of the ambient temperature outside the battery enclosure.
