The modification to the photovoltaic regulator described in this article is intended to manage the use of the battery at the limits of the allowable range defined by its manufacturer, and even beyond this. In edition 3/2016 (May & June) we presented a photovoltaic power regulation module. Originally intended for powering a small weather station, it can be used in many situations where independence is of paramount importance, and with it, optimum management of the energy captured by a solar panel and stored in a battery. That first article [1] included provision for a function to monitor battery temperature, but it was not yet implemented... Here it is at last, successfully completed and duly tested by the author. Do note that this new version only serves any purpose if you want to use this improved function; it is not strictly speaking an actual correction to the previous version.
