Battery run
in Diy / Research on Bartlett, Batteries, Field work, Flux tower, Nh, Richardson lab
Past January, after 10 years of service, the battery bank of the Bartlett flux tower gave in to too many cycles and harsh working conditions. Since it is a key component of the flux tower, replacements were bought and a large part of the lab made a trip to Bartlett to carry 6 large deep cycle batteries into the New Hampshire woods. Below the rather funny video of me sledding a battery into the woods. After a day of work, things are back up and running and have been ever since, hopefully for another 10 years.
