tnx Arber

No that is not Volt Gen1 battery sensors

I just got one sensor from a friends Gen1 battery.

I connected my Fluke multimeters temp probe and measured three stable temperatures
It seems as this is 10K NTC thermistor with a sensor B = 3450 K
Temp... value
10degC 18K
18degC 13,2K
32degC 7K4

Using AI friend i generated this table for B = 3450 K

T(°C) R (kΩ)
0........28.9
5........23.0
10.......18.5
15.......14.9
20.......12.2
25.......10.0
30.......8.25
35.......6.87
40.......5.73

DOH, that was the inverter IGBT thermistor sorry.
The Steinhart-Hart model gives better accuracy:

Tnx

I had to get the real thing so i could be sure which comparative sensor i will buy to replace it in this VW Cupra battery. I am not sure what kind of sensor is in there. I need a way to test the OEM VW sensors inside the battery too. Thanks for the model.
