Title: Battery Temperature Sensor
Post by: toddmcd on February 04, 2022, 02:09:33 PM
I want to add a battery temp sensor to my standard kid controller. Do I have to use the MNBTS cable sold by midnite solar or will other brand BTS cables work? Reason for asking is that the MNBTS is only 15 ft and I need a slightly longer cable in order to reach my battery bank.

You could use other brands IF they are 10K in resistance, I would suggest using the Midnite MNBTS and a phone extension cable.

That seems simple enough. Thank you.
