Temperature sensor: VE.Bus vs SmartShunt

Hello,

My agent sent me a wiring diagram with the temperature wiring from the SmartShunt onto the battery. However, I note in the manual for the VE.Bus it suggests the temperature wiring could go from there.

Is there a benefit of having it from the SmartShunt or is there a better way of doing it?

I also have a MultiPlus 12/500/20 and BatteryProtect.

Thanks!

@Harrison88

The real question is why do you need it?

What battery do you have? Does it need temperature compensation for charging (lead acid agm)? Low cut off (lithium)

And do you have a GX? If not then use it in the multiplus.

Hi, I have two AGM batteries. No GX.

By use it in the Multiplus, do you mean connect the temperature wire to the Multiplus instead of the VE.Bus or SmartShunt?
