I just received a return call from Progressive Dynamics.

They state that none of their converters or power systems have the temperature probes. They seem to kind of echo what vMax tanks was stating was that temperature compensation is generally not required unless in extreme conditions being very cold or very hot. They state that if 14F outside, the actual battery temperature will be warmer. They state that in extreme cold conditions the battery should be disconnected or charge off, but before doing so, the battery should be fully charged. Since I am always at at least 12.5 volts , my battery is never discharged. He all but eliminated any issues with the battery actual temperature being too hot ( this is given you are already using the Inteli Charge Wizard).

He concluded by telling me that I didn't need the optional Progressive Dynamic Remote pendant to manually change the charge program, nor a temperature probe to compensate for actual battery temperature.

He further elaborated that essentially all of the companies in the space short 1 or 2 do not offer temperature probes.

In light of the above; unless I am missing some critical need to know information, I am concluding that my batteries are being maximumly maintained with the PD2200 Series Inteli Charge Wizard

I will simply ensure that if battery temp is known to drop below 14F, ensure the battery is fully charged before shutting off converter or disconnecting the battery cables.
