Sensor in the battery lead? What's that all about? What year is that vehicle?
The car has a smart charging system, monitors energy out, energy in, to avoid overcharge and, supposedly, increase battery life. However the system is flawed and doesn't totally charge the battery, I've added a smart charger and do a top off once a week, when it;s gold I place a 400w space heater in the back seat, it keeps the frost and snow off the windows and the interior from being an ice box. I also have a block heater, sort of overkill on such a small engine but I had it so why not use it.

I'm tempted to redesign the charge system, I'll add it to all the other projects I'll do one day really soon now.

Most cars/trucks made since 2000 have smart charging with Hall-Effect current monitors in the battery lead.

I like KISS as a design philosophy.
