I keep it inside the trailer and take it outside to use it as shown, then put it back in the trailer. I have used in winter at 32F or summer at 85F. It stays dry under the 5er overhang as shown if it is raining.
I don't know what size thermistor that is in the picture. it seems bigger than the earlier replacements I got as reported earlier in the thread. A local parts supplier has nothing like them and can't get an equivalent without some specs.
I am guessing the 025 at the end means it is a 25a vs the earlier 020 if that means 20a. Salvo must have found the specs for the SL5R020, but I can only find them for the SCK202R5 line. I was thinking an SCK302R5 might work, but I don't have a clue.
Whatever I would get in there, it seems like it won't last if it is me doing something wrong like not waiting long enough for a restart.
Or it may be a design issue with not enough capacitor to work with the thermistor as a team, no idea.
