About this item
- REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSOR: Morningstar's Remote Temperature Sensor (RTS) provides improved battery charging in solar systems that experience temperature variations during the year. It measures temperature at the battery and the controller uses this data for very accurate temperature compensation.
- HIGH ACCURACY: This sensor is essential when the battery temperature differs by more than 5°C (9°F) from the controller, ensuring accurate temperature compensation for improved battery charging. Provides precise temperature readings maintaining reliable performance across a wide temperature range.
- DURABLE & PROTECTION: For defense against harsh environments, the sensor is securely encapsulated in epoxy within a robust power lug housing. This durable construction protects against lightning surges and short circuits for long-lasting performance and reliability in the most challenging conditions.
- CONTROLLER COMPATIBILITY: The RTS is compatible with various Morningstar models including SunSaver MPPT, TriStar MPPT, SunKeeper, SunSaver Duo, and ProStar. The TriStar has no on-board temperature compensation thus requiring the use of the RTS. Other Morningstar controllers will default to an on-board temperature sensor if a RTS is not connected.
- TRUSTED RELIABILITY: Morningstar Corporation is a US company established in 1993 and is a global leader in manufacturing PWM and MPPT solar charge controllers, inverters, and accessories. Renowned for the industry's lowest hardware failure rate, Morningstar provides dependable, innovative technology for advanced solar applications. Morningstar products include U.S. based Tech Support and are the top choice for mission-critical users.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2021It is what it is, a remote temperature sensor. You can attach it to one of the bolts of the battery or tape it to the side, etc. Plenty of wire length — I actually cut it in half and used the other half as the voltage sense wire which begs the question, why didn't morningstar use 4 wires for this? To combine the voltage and temperature sensors into one shielded cable? That and the price are my only complaints. At the price it should have been 4 wires in one cable to be used as voltage and temperature.
Nonetheless, you really do need temperature correction.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2017I haven't installed this particular sensor yet, but I have others. Temperature compensation is the only way to go with solar battery charging if you want the controller to apply the correct voltages. This sensor on a Tristar controller will ensure that your batteries get as fully charged as they can be, and as a result make them last longer, and help you have more power to play with.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2015This remote battery sensor is a must have, the charger was using ambient temperature for the battery, the ambient goes up with the heat-sink temperature. When the perceived temperature goes up, the charging voltage goes down, and does not charge correctly. With the remote battery temperature monitor, the charger knows the correct battery temperature, and charges to the proper voltage, I really do not understand why this is not a standard piece of equipment with the charger.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2013Last year, I used a Tristar T-60 to keep the batteries charged during the winter. Using hydrometer readings showed that they were usually always at a medium charge level. With the RTS, this winter, the the readings show a higher state of charge in general.
Also, the amount of water I have needed to add to the batteries has reduced dramatically. If possible, I will never use a charge controller on Lead Acid batteries without temperature compensation.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2017Seems to work, never done without one so I don't know how much charging improving i have.
