The battery temperature sensing function prolongs battery life by adjusting the charge float voltage level based on battery temperature. Connect the sensor cable (the cable, included, has an RJ style connector on one end and a black sensor on the other) to the RJ style jack located on the side of the Inverter labeled “Remote Temp.
