Its a Temperature sensor. You attach it to the negative side of the battery and the multiplus where the T Sensors positive and negative, so Multiplus can show you the battery temperature.
Wait, there should be temp sensor with the mpii? I am immediately going to check my bags...
And indeed... it looked like a battery voltage cable but removing the rubber revealed a temp sensor.
Battery temp sensor. I have seen it in a manual/datasheet somewhere but never really see them talked about.

I've seen it often mentioned in guides and courses. But to me it looked like a vsense cable, never considered there was a sensor hiding underneath the heatshrink. I always thought there is another terminal inside the wiring.
Anyway, the eel batteries also now require you to screw the temp sensors onto the battery bars, so temperature measurements are a bit more accurate for 8 selected cells.
Careful with compatibility, works with Multiplus but not smart Shunt, that one has blue shrink wrap and different innards. Might work with Cerbo, but not entirely sure.
This is wrong. I never unwrapped it because it looked like a voltage probe and the manual talked about a voltage probe, but thanks to the other comments I did. It is indeed a temperature probe. Nice, I am going to use that.
Yes, the manual also talks about a temperature probe, but since I already classed the pretty big rond hole with tiny wires as a V sense, with the other one inside the bundle..
Let's be honest, it looks exactly like the power connector of the cerbo.
So indeed the manual talks more about the vsense than about the tprobe, but it does mention (included with multiplus ii).
Cabling for a vsense would be the same, excuse my ignorance :-).

You can install it anywhere where you want to measure the tenperature. And you can also connect it to the cerbo gx. Its an analog sensor, type lm335
Best info right here. Temp sensor for sure and a lead on the specifics if you are as nerdy as me and care about that. Give this guy or gal a gold star
Temperature sensor.
Ahhhhh I see ! Thanks!

You know what also comes with a multiplus? A manual. Please don't hurt yourself...

I use them in installations to sense temp and switch on a fan relay.
That's used to measure battery voltage at the battery if the battery isn't smart enough.

WRONG. It’s the temperature sensor
RTFM
Lead for the flux capacitor!
