Temperature compensation conversion ?
I'm not smart enough to figure this out. My Interstate GC2 battery specs base temp compensation on 10 degrees Fahrenheit above or below 80 degrees F. My Blue Sky charge controller bases it on on...

0.028V per F = 0.5V per C.
80F must be a typo. It's usually 77F = 25C.
Oh yeah, temp comp does change few tenth of volts from cool morning to hot noon. Was annoying in my rig since my batteries start from 75-80% SOC in the morning and get into Absorption well before noon when it's still cold, so Abs goes from 14.7V default to 15V or higher. But, since they are AGM, I moved them to inside space, and now it doesn't change that much.
