It provides direct battery temperature data to your inverter or charge controller, enabling voltage compensation based on actual battery temperature. This is essential for maintaining battery health, optimising charge efficiency, and extending service life in demanding off-grid, backup, and mobile power systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike generic sensors, this Victron Type C sensor is purpose-built for the RS series, ensuring seamless integration and reliable data transmission. It features a robust ring terminal for secure attachment to the battery terminal, a durable twin-core cable, and pre-crimped wire ferrules for quick, error-free connection to the inverter or MPPT RS unit. The clear identification tag helps confirm correct application during installation or maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Accurate Temperature Sensing Matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBattery chemistry is highly sensitive to temperature. Charging a lead-acid or lithium battery without temperature compensation can lead to undercharging in cold conditions or overcharging in hot conditions, both of which accelerate degradation and reduce usable capacity. By connecting this sensor directly to the battery terminal, the Inverter RS Smart Solar or MPPT RS can adjust charge voltages in real time, protecting your investment and ensuring consistent performance across a wide range of operating temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect battery terminal temperature sensing for precise voltage compensation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-crimped wire ferrules for secure, tool-free insertion into RS series terminals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurable twin-core cable with colour-coded red and black insulation for easy polarity identification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRing terminal lug for reliable thermal contact at the battery post\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear identification tag with part number for quick verification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with Victron Inverter RS Smart Solar and MPPT RS models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCable length can be extended if required, offering installation flexibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesigned for Reliable Integration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis sensor is not a VE.Smart Networking device and does not transmit temperature data to VRM independently; it connects directly to the dedicated sensor input on the Inverter RS Smart Solar or MPPT RS. This wired connection ensures a stable, interference-free signal path, which is critical in electrically noisy environments such as engine rooms, inverter compartments, or industrial installations. The factory-crimped ferrules eliminate the need for field termination, reducing installation time and the risk of poor connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation and Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Victron Type C Temperature Sensor is a direct replacement for the sensor supplied with the Inverter RS Smart Solar and is also compatible with the MPPT RS. Installation is straightforward: attach the ring terminal to the battery negative terminal (or positive if specified in your system design), route the cable to the inverter or charge controller, and insert the ferrules into the designated sensor terminals. The cable can be extended using appropriate gauge wire and connectors if the standard length is insufficient for your layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProtect Your Battery Investment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you are commissioning a new Victron RS system or replacing a damaged sensor, the genuine Victron Type C Temperature Sensor ensures your battery charging remains accurate and safe. Avoid the risks of generic sensors that may not provide the correct resistance curve or mechanical fit. Choose the component designed and tested by Victron for optimal compatibility and long-term reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder the Victron Type C Temperature Sensor today\u003c\/strong\u003e and maintain precise charge control for your Inverter RS Smart Solar or MPPT RS system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"product-specifications\" style=\"width:100%; border-collapse:collapse; border:1px solid #d9d9d9; table-layout:auto;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border:1px solid #d9d9d9; padding:8px; text-align:left; width:35%; vertical-align:top;\"\u003eVictron Part Number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d9d9d9; padding:8px; vertical-align:top;\"\u003eASS000020000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border:1px solid #d9d9d9; padding:8px; text-align:left; width:35%; vertical-align:top;\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d9d9d9; padding:8px; vertical-align:top;\"\u003eSpare battery temperature sensor for the Inverter RS Smart Solar.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border:1px solid #d9d9d9; padding:8px; text-align:left; width:35%; vertical-align:top;\"\u003eProducts Supported\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d9d9d9; padding:8px; vertical-align:top;\"\u003eInverter RS Smart Solar, MPPT RS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border:1px solid #d9d9d9; padding:8px; text-align:left; width:35%; vertical-align:top;\"\u003eTemperature On VRM\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d9d9d9; padding:8px; vertical-align:top;\"\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border:1px solid #d9d9d9; padding:8px; text-align:left; width:35%; vertical-align:top;\"\u003eVE.Smart Networking\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d9d9d9; padding:8px; vertical-align:top;\"\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border:1px solid #d9d9d9; padding:8px; text-align:left; width:35%; vertical-align:top;\"\u003eModifying Cable Length?\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d9d9d9; padding:8px; vertical-align:top;\"\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Victron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52364447711515,"sku":"Vic-ASS000020000","price":39.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0854\/3354\/9083\/files\/Vic-ASS000020000-01.jpg?v=1781657445","url":"https:\/\/www.nbcampingequipment.com.au\/products\/victron-temperature-sensor-type-c-inverter-rs-smar","provider":"NB Camping Equipment","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
