Built-in internal temperature sensor situated in the MPPT solar charger (MPPT 75/15) reading a 0

The solar charger battery temperature (Address: 773) is reading 0. I believe this comes from a built-in internal temperature sensor situated in the MPPT solar charger (MPPT 75/15). Is there a reason why this address is reading 0 all the time?

The MPPT uses it for its internal protections derating or over temp shut down. It was not intended for other/external uses.

It is not even intended for low temp charging cut off (e.g. lithium) since its own self warming during operation makes it unreliable for that.

It was mentioned a while ago on the forum deep in a thread.
