Essential Low-Temperature Protection for Your Marine Lithium Batteries

Ensure the longevity, safety, and optimal performance of your valuable LFP lithium batteries with the VICTRON ENERGY Can-Bus Temperature Sensor. Specifically engineered for the demanding marine environment, this sensor is a critical component for any advanced onboard power system utilizing Victron Energy´s powerful Buck-Boost DC/DC converters or Multi/Quattro inverter/chargers. It provides the intelligent temperature monitoring required to protect your battery investment from damage caused by charging in cold conditions.

The primary function of this sensor is to enable smart, temperature-compensated charging. It precisely measures the temperature of your lithium battery bank and communicates this vital data directly to your Victron charging system via a robust and reliable CAN-bus connection. This seamless integration creates an automated safety net, giving you complete peace of mind when operating your vessel in cooler climates or during off-season periods. By preventing charging at unsafe temperatures, you significantly extend the service life of your batteries and maintain the integrity of your entire electrical system.

The CAN-bus Temp.

Sensor is a battery temperature sensor for the Buck-Boost DC/DC converter range and is an essential accessory when the Buck-Boost DC/DC converter is connected to a LFP lithium battery.

Temperature sensing is needed when LFP lithium batteries are charged at low temperatures.

The charge current to a lithium battery has to be reduced once the battery temperature drops below 5 degrees and the charge current has to stop when the temperature drops below zero.

The CAN-bus Temp.

Sensor takes care of this.

It measures the lithium battery temperature and sends this to the Buck-Boost DC/DC converter.

The Buck-Boost DC/DC converter will reduce or stop charge when the battery temperature drops too low.

In addition to this, the CAN-bus Temp.

Sensor can also be connected to the temperature sensor terminal in a Multi or Quattro, so the Multi or Quattro can reduce or stop charging when the battery temperature drops too low.
