Step 9: Connecting the Battery Temperature Sensor
Mounting Options
You can mount the battery temperature sensor (BTS) in one of two ways:
• Mounting the sensor to the negative battery post allows the internal battery
temperature to be sensed and provides the most accurate results.
• Attaching the sensor to the side of the battery using the self-adhesive backing
also provides good results in most situations.
Mounting to the Negative Battery Terminal
To mount the sensor on the negative battery terminal:
