So, yea yea.. I could buy a charger that monitors temperature but why would i do that? Yea yea, I could use my infrared gun to check the temperature but why would I do that?

So, I saw an older Yokomo BCS charger, and it uses a lil temp probe to monitor the battery pack....

So here I am thinking.......... could I use something like:

yea.. not accurate.. but it would give me a ballpark right? i think... (shrug).

or... could i make one maybe using like a thermosister from radioshack etc. etc.. hrmm..

You can also take a digital meat thermometer and remove the metal probe to reveal the sensor. Place the sensor against the cell and that should work fine.... I think you can find them for less then 10 bucks.

Much more makes one that will work with any charger to temp charge

dont feel like paying an arm and a leg from muchmore... im looking for a homegrown version using computer temp or some kinda of industrial temp gauge and go from there =) thanks for the suggestion!
