An update to the status of spare batteries:
There are 6 batteries in the mountain met building. as of 27/12/2010 5:30pm
1 is charged to 12.77 volts, another is charging overnight. The others will be charged tomorrow and wednesday.
Impending precipitation events and cloudiness mean the ISFS stations will be likely under cloudy conditions from midday tomorrow for up to 84 hours, or more. Spare batteries are being charged to be available for replacement.
The charger that was bought by the Semmer/Stumpy crew indicated that the first battery charged was 'bad' and it is holding a charge of 12.77 volts, so hopefully the charger is incorrect.
