Introducing the CAN.bus temp sensor
Regulates the charging voltage, irrespective of the temperature.
Required f or LiFePO4 lithium systems in combination with buck-boost DC-DC converters.
General description:
The CAN.bus temp sensor is an accessory that is specif ically developed for all models of buck-boost DC-DC
converters.
The temperature is transmitted to the buck-boost DC-DC converter via a communication cable via the CAN-
bus communication ports
The CAN.bus temp sensor can also be used in combination with any Victron Multi or Quattro. This enables
the charging voltage to be regulated in line with low temperature.
For LiFePO4 lithium systems, this sensor is necessary in many system applications, due to the f act that
LiFePO4 batteries must not be charged up when they are too cold. Charging lithium batteries at or around
f reezing point will cause permanent damage to the cells.
