Battery Temperature Compensation
A remote battery temperature sensor (BTS) can be purchased separately. This sensor raises or lowers
charge voltage based on temperature. Connect BTS to the BATT TEMP jack. (Refer to Battery
Temperature Sensor Installation 20) The Battery temperature menu appears as T-Comp in the BATTERY
MENU. In this menu you can change the voltage compensation as needed. If the BTS is disconnected or
shorted the Classic will automatically default to 25C on the Battery temperature.
Battery Temperature Sensor Installation
CAUTION - To reduce risk of injury, charge only deep-cycle lead acid, lead antimony, lead calcium,
gel cell or absorbed glass mat type rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries may burst, causing
personal injury and damage. Never charge a frozen battery.
WARNING: RISK OF INJURY. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only properly rated (such as 6
V 12 V and 24 V ) lead-acid (GEL, AGM, Flooded, or Nickel Cadmium) rechargeable batteries. Other
battery types may burst, causing personal injury and damage.
WARNING: Explosion hazard during equalization, the battery generates explosive gases. Follow all
the battery safety precautions listed in this guide. Ventilate the area around the battery using ventilators
with brushless motors thoroughly and ensure that there are no sources of flame or sparks in the vicinity.
An optional Battery temperature sensor is available which plugs into the jack beside the DC Terminal
connector labeled “Batt Temp”. Route the cable through the E-panel into the battery box. Pick a battery in
the middle of the bank and about half way up the side of the battery thoroughly clean a spot off on the
case. Then remove the protective tape from the sensor and adhere the temperature sensor to the battery.
Some manufacturers use a double wall case on the battery. For mounting a temp sensor to a double wall
battery case please refer to the battery manufacturer's recommended procedure.
