Due to the low voltage at the profile tower, we cobbled together a power system for it.

Prior to adding the supply, the voltage at the inside of the power interface panel on profile was 9.9V.

Charging system consists of a 12VDC power supply (white rectangular cube), PAM charge controller (didn't note which kind) and a battery, all in a white cooler.  A second separate battery is also connected.  Strung a new AC extension cord to this system.  Left the cooler lid propped open. Will have to watch that this doesn't overheat.

Voltage a the profile power interface panel after adding the charger was 12.1 V.

Checked voltages at downwind1 charge controller:

J3 (DC in): 12.8V

J2 (to battery): 12.2V

J1 (load): 12.1V

At unused output from charger:  13.5 V.

Inside downwind1 interface panel: 11.1 V (still seems low)
