I sent an info request for a battery sensor and this is PC's (Kermits) response.

Dear Mr. Fisher,
Thank you, Sir. I believe you are probably right since there is a battery charge rate default temperature used internally (75-77F, I believe) that should kick in with loss of sensor. In my case every thing was normal, i.e., no boiling, gassing, etc., until I lost the sensor and then the charger fried the battery in short order. The battery bank being ~3 years old anyway probably did not help.
My real concern was keeping the system as near to the way PC shipped the unit as possible. FYI the Tripp-Lite online help system was not helpful, and in fact shunted me off to second source oem's that basically had no interest in aiding either me or Tripp-Lite.
I did not mean to ask for "freebies" and certainly will reimburse PC for any expenses if you will make them known to me.
Thank you again for your service, attention to detail, and great customer response.
Sincerely.
L. G. Huitt
