Measure battery temp.

gww1

What are you using to measure battery temp. I have a forklift battery. I unhooked the temp senser from the charge controllers on advice from outback tech support. There was no good way to put it on the battery.

I had been keeping an eye on the battery with the temp senser on a sears clamp meter stuck down in a corner of the batteries but the wire corroded and no longer works. I didn't think that was best anyway, but better then nothing. I have atleast one cell that does not get the sg's up even with hard EQ. What normally happens is I EQ till the sg in that cell starts dropping and then quit.
I am sure it is going down due to heet.

What is a good peice of equiptment to keep an eye on the battery temp. I spent hours looking on line and didn't really find anything that looked right.
Thanks
