[RE-wrenches] battery temp sensors for older Trace/Xantrex inverters

[Chris Schaefer]

To All,

Since I have two Xantrex/Trace SW5548's that run my shop/office and home
(offgrid) I decided to take some time early this morning to  install a
MidNite and Outback BTS into one of the inverters to see first hand what
the results would be. Below is the results with the actual voltage @ 49.2.
The compensated voltage shown on the Trace screen was;
MidNite; 56.2
Outback: 55.2
While the original Trace bts returned a compensated voltage of 49.8. I did
allow for a 30 minute adjustment to the environment before recording values.
Thus I walked away proving to myself that you can't (as many of you have
pointed out) cross use either MidNite or Outback bts on the SW.
Ray thanks for the offer of the BTS but since Dave has graciously provided
us with the Xantrex/Schneider p/n 130-0004-01-01 I'm going to see if I
can't locate a couple through the normal vendors.

Thanks everyone,
Christopher
