Description
xTemperature Sensor for Victron BlueSolar PWM-Pro Charge Controller
This is the dedicated temperature sensor for the Victron BlueSolar PWM-Pro charge controller range. It allows the controller to apply temperature-compensated charging, adjusting charge voltages automatically based on battery temperature to prevent overcharging in warm conditions and undercharging in cold ones.
Key Features
- Designed specifically for use with Victron BlueSolar PWM-Pro charge controllers.
- Enables automatic temperature-compensated charging, protecting battery health across varying ambient conditions.
- Lightweight at 0.06 kg, with a compact form factor suited to tight battery enclosures.
- Plug-and-play connection to the PWM-Pro controller's dedicated sensor port.
- Genuine Victron Energy accessory, ensuring full compatibility and reliable performance with supported controllers.
Product Overview
Battery charging voltage must be adjusted according to temperature. Without compensation, a battery charged at a fixed voltage will be overcharged in summer and undercharged in winter, both of which shorten battery life. The BlueSolar PWM-Pro supports temperature compensation natively, but only when this sensor is connected.
The sensor mounts directly on or near the battery and feeds real-time temperature data to the charge controller. The PWM-Pro then shifts the charge voltage up or down from the nominal setpoint, typically by a fixed number of millivolts per degree Celsius per cell. This is particularly important in installations where the battery bank is located in an uninsulated space such as a vehicle, boat, or outdoor cabinet, where temperatures can swing significantly between seasons.

Installation Notes
The sensor should be attached directly to the battery casing to give the most accurate temperature reading. Ensure the sensor connector is fully seated in the correct port on the PWM-Pro controller before commissioning. This accessory is only compatible with the BlueSolar PWM-Pro range and should not be used with other Victron controller models. Installation as part of a wider solar system should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person familiar with 12V and 24V DC systems.
