Temperature Sensor for battery compartment #66

Open m-kaseman opened 4 years ago

See if chosen battery has built-in temperature probe on internal protection circuitry (sometimes behind the LiPo covering/packaging)

Bought cheap ($2.68), small 10kOhm thermistors along with battery test BOM. Will attempt to test these alongside lab thermocouples during battery test to observe difficulty of operation, generally familiarize if necessary, i.e. if batteries do not have integrated temperature sensing. Thermistors don't require reference temp, hence selection for possible use on satellite.
