The multiplus 2 comes with a temperature sensor for the battery. I have the smart shut which also allows for a temperature sensor. These seem redundant which one should I should I use?.

@Duswami

MP-II temp sensor is useless for the LFP batteries.

I think is useful only for Lead batteries.

MPlus temperature is fine for AGM batteries but if you have other devices (ie. MPPT chargers) you want want to use the smart shunt temp sensor or both. Having a Cerbo GX in the picture can also change the way you do things.
