Review on Cooper-Atkins SP160-0-8 Rectangular Solar-Powered Digital Panel Thermometer, -58/158°F Temperature Range by Tres Carmon

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Guys I found a great temperature sensor that is solar powered with AAA backup battery.

. It is approximately 4.5 inches long, 1 inch high and 1/2 thick with a 4 foot cord ending with a metal sensor. It has C or F settings and works from -58F to +150F. It is manufactured by COOPER-ATKINS, Model No. SP160. It's sold in many places, but I bought mine for $27 from Revain Prime with free two-day shipping if you're a member. I installed it on my K12 Suzuki DL1000 motorcycle. I kept the tip of the sensor outdoors (not behind a panel) so I can get air temperature readings while driving. On February 14, 2015 I did 150 miles of 85F in Ojai, California (sorry northerners) 64F in the mountains. It changes about every 30 seconds as the temperature changes. Works great so far.
