What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Victron Temperature Sensor for its flawless, immediate integration with Quattro and MultiPlus GX devices. This component offers true plug and play functionality, instantly providing vital temperature data necessary for optimizing charging cycles and extending battery lifespan. Users consistently note the robust build quality, which meets expected Victron standards for reliability in demanding environments. While the sensor is considered an indispensable investment for system safety and efficiency, the primary drawback cited is the perceived high cost typical of proprietary accessories. Despite the price, most accept it as essential for maintaining the integrity of their high-value power management installations.
Know before you buy
The sensor allows your MultiPlus or Quattro to adjust its charging voltage based on the actual battery temperature. This prevents overcharging in hot conditions and ensures a full charge in cold weather, which significantly extends your battery bank's lifespan.
This sensor is compatible with most MultiPlus and Quattro units that feature a dedicated temperature sensor port. It is always best to check your specific inverter's manual or the port label to confirm compatibility before installation.
For the best results, attach the sensor directly to the side of one of your batteries, ideally near the middle of the battery bank. Avoid placing it near heat sources or in direct sunlight to ensure the readings reflect the actual battery temperature.
Yes, when connected to a compatible MultiPlus or Quattro, the temperature data is communicated to your GX device. This allows you to monitor your battery temperature remotely through the Victron Remote Management (VRM) portal.
While the sensor is designed for Victron systems, it functions based on temperature compensation principles applicable to most lead-acid and AGM batteries. If you are using Lithium (LiFePO4) batteries, check your specific battery manufacturer's requirements, as they often have their own integrated Battery Management Systems (BMS).
