Item Description

6Battery Temp. Select button

Press and hold the button for three seconds to select one of three settings. An indicator LED corresponds to each setting.

If an optional BTS is connected, the indicator LEDs represent real-time battery temperature.

When the optional BTS is not used, this selection changes the charger's output voltage settings to compensate for the battery temperature selected. The Cold setting raises the voltages, and the Hot setting lowers the voltages. See “Battery Temperature Compensation Levels” on page 32.
