Xantrex Technology FP 3000-12 Temperature Sensitive Charging (TSC)

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

Temperature Sensitive Charging (TSC) When the supplied battery temperature sensor is connected to the unit and the batteries, the charge voltage is controlled based on battery temperature. The charger adjusts the charge voltage to the best level, minimizing water loss in wet cell batteries. Charge voltage regulation optimizes the battery life cycle.
