Rick and Chris onsite today.  

Weather today was cloudy with sprinkles in the morning, changing to partly cloudy in the afternoon.

I consistently monitor the voltages on the QC tables, to make sure that the battery voltages increase as the sun comes up:

Today, T23 battery voltage continued to decrease. I went to the array, and checked the solar panels and solar output - both were good.
On inspecting the Victron, the battery cable came loose from the Victron screw terminal.  I reconnected this wire, replaced both batteries with fresh batteries, and restarted the DSM.
Then put the old batteries from T23 (which had discharged to ~12.5 volts) on the charger.

We have had several issues with wires coming loose from the Victron screw terminals - we should think about ways to improve this connection.


Rick and I occasionally still prefer the old school method of releasing balloons:
