[RE-wrenches] Surrette Battery Question

[jay peltz]

I presume there is a temp sensor on the CC and inverter.

And if the battery temps are higher then the voltage termination  
would be lower which could explain it.

Or,  I have seen them get off calibration which would cause a  
difference in charge set points.
