2 Enable the slope thermal compensation feature, if installed.
3 Verify that the battery temperature threshold configurations
are set to values that produce a compensation slope that is
correct for the battery type being used. The Nominal, Upper,
and Step temperature settings of Millennium software
versions earlier than 7.5 will need to be adjusted from their
default values when Temperature Compensation is enabled,
or battery damage may result.
4 If thermal probes are installed, heat one of the probes to
simulate a battery operating at high temperature.
5 Verify that the system voltage is reduced from the nominal
float voltage value as the thermal probe is heated.
6 Allow the thermal probe to cool and verify that the system
voltage returns to the nominal value.
