The second choice is to place it as close to the battery as possible.
Attachment of the sensor to the side or top of battery is also a possible
option, under the right circumstances. Be careful to ensure it will not come
loose in service.
Finally, if placing the sensor on the battery in not practical, place it where
the ambient temperature the battery is exposed to (surrounded by) can
be sensed. When properly installed on the battery, your charger is set
to provide your battery with what it needs to out-live and out-perform any
similar battery used in the same application-conditions, by a factor of two
(2).
Temperature has a direct effect on the life of a battery. The design life of the
battery is based on an average annual temperature of 25°C (77°F). As the
temperature increases above 25°C (77°F), the life of the battery decreases.
The chart on the next page shows the effects of temperature.
