[RE-wrenches] Extending Midnite BTS

[Sindelar Solar]

boB,
This message about the BTS from late January gives me cause to ask a 
related question, please: What is the functional relation between the 
Outback and Midnite sensors?

Background of my question: Years ago I somehow convinced myself that the 
two were interchangeable. I thought that I had heard this from Robin or 
yourself, but now I suspect I brainfarted this into my reality. Having 
learned that they're not interchangeable I have replaced under my 
warranty the five I could identify as having OB sensors with Midnite 
sensors. What I'd like to know is the real-world effect of my mistake on 
my clients' batteries, especially the two systems that have sealed AGM. 
Could you offer a comparison of the two in terms of, say, voltage rise 
at 0ºC?

Thank you,
Allan Sindelar
