Give Your Victron System Better Temperature Awareness With the Victron Energy Temperature Sensor for Quattro, MultiPlus and GX Device
The Victron Energy Temperature Sensor for Quattro, MultiPlus and GX Device (part number ASS000001000) is a compact accessory that gives your Victron system a way to read temperature. It is made for owners of Victron Quattro and MultiPlus inverter/chargers and compatible GX devices who want to keep a closer eye on battery conditions in a home backup system, an RV, an off-grid cabin, or a mobile work rig. Batteries have opinions about heat and cold, and this small sensor helps your system hear them out.
One important note up front: this is not the temperature sensor for the BMV-712. If you are shopping for a BMV-712 sensor, that is a different accessory.
Victron Energy Temperature Sensor for Quattro, MultiPlus and GX Device Features
Purpose-Built Compatibility So You Can Match It to Your Victron Gear
This sensor is designed for Victron Quattro and MultiPlus inverter/chargers and for GX devices such as the Cerbo GX and Venus GX. Pairing an accessory with the product family it was made for takes a lot of the guesswork out of system building.

Temperature Sensing So You Can Stay Informed About Battery Conditions
Temperature has a real effect on battery performance and lifespan. Adding a dedicated sensor gives your Victron equipment a temperature reading to work with, rather than leaving it blind to what is happening around the battery bank. Exactly how each device uses that reading depends on the device and its settings, so check your unit's documentation.
A Small Footprint For Easy Planning Around Tight Spaces
Power systems tend to live in cramped places: RV bays, equipment closets, battery boxes, and van conversions. This sensor measures 7 x 4 x 0.5 inches and weighs 0.2 lbs, so it will not add noticeable bulk to your build. Confirm your mounting location and cable routing before you install.
Clear Part Number For Confident Ordering
Victron has a lot of look-alike accessories, and the part number is the safest way to order the right one. This sensor is part number ASS000001000, the same number you will see on Victron's temperature sensor documentation.
Real-World Applications
A temperature sensor is a quiet accessory, but it earns its keep in any setup where the batteries live in a place that does not stay at a comfortable room temperature.
-
Home backup power: Homeowners with a Quattro or MultiPlus system can add temperature awareness to a battery bank kept in a garage, utility room, or basement where conditions swing with the seasons.
-
RV travel: RVers move between desert heat and mountain cold, sometimes in a single week. Battery bays can get hot or cold quickly, so a temperature reading is useful.
-
Off-grid living and adventures: Cabins, shops, and remote sites often have batteries in outbuildings with little climate control. A sensor helps you keep an eye on conditions you cannot check in person every day.
-
Mobile businesses: Food trailers, mobile workshops, and service vehicles depend on their power systems every working day. More visibility into battery temperature supports smarter maintenance and fewer surprises.
How This Compares To Going Without A Temperature Sensor
The honest alternative is skipping the sensor and running the system without temperature input. Plenty of systems do, and nothing breaks on day one. The trade-off is that your Victron equipment has no direct temperature reading from the battery area, which matters most in climates or installations where temperatures swing widely.
Compared with a broader monitoring setup, this sensor is a focused, low-profile accessory. It is not a battery monitor, a shunt, or a full system display. It adds one specific piece of information, and it does it as part of the Victron ecosystem. If you need a temperature sensor for a BMV battery monitor such as the BMV-712, you will need a different Victron sensor.
Is This Temperature Sensor Right For Your System
This is a straightforward add-on, but a few checks will save you a return trip.
This may be a good fit if:
- You own or are building a system around a Victron Quattro or MultiPlus
- You use a compatible GX device, such as a Cerbo GX or Venus GX
- Your batteries live somewhere that gets hot, cold, or unpredictable
- You like having more information about what your system is doing
Before you buy, confirm that your specific Victron products support this sensor, and check your unit's datasheet to see whether a sensor already shipped with it. Victron's documentation also lists other supported products beyond Quattro, MultiPlus, and GX devices, so it is worth confirming compatibility for anything else in your setup. Our team is happy to help you sort it out.
