The multiplus 2 comes with a temperature sensor for the battery. I have the smart shut which also allows for a temperature sensor. These seem redundant which one should I should I use?.

MP-II temp sensor is useless for the LFP batteries.

I think is useful only for Lead batteries.

For AGMs the one that comes with MP-II is fully functional and I would use this one.

The one for SmartShunt is different and you have to pay for it extra.

MPlus temperature is fine for AGM batteries but if you have other devices (ie. MPPT chargers) you want want to use the smart shunt temp sensor or both. Having a Cerbo GX in the picture can also change the way you do things.
