Subject: T&T: Battery temperature sensor concern

Recent thread on battery temperature during charging relates to a problem
that
I am experiencing.


Just one more idea into the mix....

Not exactly the same as your situation, but I very recently seem to have
solved a problem of a Xantrex 3-stage regulator, and then a similar Balmar
regulator, cutting back alternator output because of alternator overheating
(when IR temp readings didn't seem too hot).  Replaced the alternator temp
sensor and, with only a very few run hours, all seems right with the world.
The problem was a faulty temp sensor.  Balmar asked to have the sensor back
for "autopsy", since they "never" fail.
