Xantrex XC and TRUEcharge2 Battery Temperature Sensor

The Xantrex battery temperature sensor gives a compatible charger a reading from the battery itself, rather than relying on the temperature elsewhere in the compartment. It is intended for compatible XC and TRUEcharge2 charging systems that support battery temperature sensing. Temperature matters during charging because a battery in a hot engine space may need a different charging voltage than one in a cool storage locker. This accessory helps the charger respond to those conditions.

The sensor can be fitted to a battery terminal post or placed against the side of a battery, following the charger installation instructions. Once connected, it sends temperature information back to the charger so the charging voltage can be adjusted automatically. That is particularly useful on boats and other installations where battery temperatures change while the charging system is operating.

• Measures battery temperature at the battery bank
• Supports automatic charging-voltage compensation
• Mounts at a battery post or against the battery case
• Intended for compatible XC and TRUEcharge2 chargers

This is a dedicated charging accessory, not a stand-alone temperature gauge. Check the charger model and the required sensor connection before replacing an existing unit or adding one to a new installation. Proper placement against the battery is important because the charger uses that temperature reading when regulating its output. Browse more Battery Charging Accessories at CritPro.
