40 Amp Renogy MPPT Charge Controllers with BT-1
When I look on the LCD for the current battery temperature (via lead to battery) it reads the correct temperature, in this case 17-degrees Celsius. But when I use the Renogy App on my Android I get at reading of (-11)-degrees Celsius.
What am I missing here?

Do you have a remote temperature sensor connected? |

Yes, the remote temperature sensor is connected.

17 degrees Celsius (62.6F) on Rover MPPT 40-Amp MPPT Controller and -17 degrees (1.4F) on BT-1 Android App. Red is on left, Black on Right for the Temperature Plug into Renogy Rover MPPT 40-Amp MPPT Controller (Front of Unit - i.e. Facing Unit).
Is the temperature sensor in correctly wired....? If reversed maybe it would read 17 degrees Celsius?

O.k. - My fault....I kept the original temperature sensor that came with my kit (30-Amp Wanderer) w/ Temp Probe. I figured one temperature sensor is the same from one to another, thus I had not used the temperature sensor that came with the Rover MPPT 40-Amp. Well I plugged in the temperature sensor that came with the Rover and now I do get correct temperature readings. Good to know even though the temperature plugs are the same, is that the behavior may not be what is expected, by having left the original sensor in pace. Lesson learned.

Makes me wonder if the Wanderer temperature sensor was even working before if it was reading opposite (i.e. negative temperatures) when used with Rover MPPT 40-amp Controller.

We do have temperature sensors for different controllers, despite the connection seeming the same; the logic is different. However we have no released a universal temperature sensor www.renogy.com/battery-temperature-sensor-for-renogy-solar-charge-controllers/ |
