No Bill. They dont have that.
Wrong again.


Fast chargers - the type a garage will have on a trolley - do measure
battery temperature.


My motorhome chargers are actually sold mainly for yachts. They each
charge at 15A (at 24V) and check battery condition by voltage and also
by temperature. They will fully charge 100Ah batteries in half a day.
Eventually they drop to a maintenance charge of about 100mA.


It does make sense if you wish to re-charge the battery as quickly as
possible. I've just fixed the charger on a camper van. Nothing that
sophisticated there. ;-)
