Victron CAN bus temperature sensor

Victron CAN bus temperature sensor

The CAN Bus Temp. Sensor is a battery temperature sensor for the Buck-Boost DC/DC converter series and is an important accessory when the Buck-Boost DC/DC converter is connected to an LFP lithium battery.

Temperature sensing is required when charging LFP lithium batteries at low temperatures. The charging current of a lithium battery must be reduced when the battery temperature drops below 5 degrees, and the charging current must be stopped when the temperature drops below zero.

The CAN bus temp. sensor takes care of this. It measures the temperature of the lithium battery and sends this to the buck-boost DC/DC converter. The buck-boost DC/DC converter reduces or stops the charging process if the battery temperature becomes too low.

In addition, the CAN bus temp. sensor can also be connected to the temperature sensor port of a Multi or Quattro, so that the Multi or Quattro can reduce or stop charging if the battery temperature is too low.
