As I said, I will do what I need to. For what these batteries would cost to replace new, I'll do what it takes to make them last as long as possible.
This is what the MS manual says about temp comp.
All charging settings are based on 25°C (77°F). If the battery temperature varies by 5°C, the charging setting will change by 0.15 Volts for a 12 Volt battery. This is a substantial change in the charging of the battery, and the use of the Remote Temperature Sensor (RTS) is recommended to adjust charging to the actual battery temperature.
The need for temperature compensation depends on the temperature variations, battery type, how the system is used, and other factors. If the battery appears to be gassing too much or not charging enough, the RTS can be added at any time after the system has been installed.
It would be my luck to spend the money for a feature and have it be useless.
