Update- Got my RTS about a week ago. It is measuring temp of 27 or 28C in my battery bank all the time which is about right I think. The heatsink and ambient sensors both show ~32C at night and ~40C during full charging. I'm much happier about my battery charging levels.
I guess this really means that the BTS cannot be considered an "Option" and that it is Mandatory.
