For several months our battery packs in the mission's power system have been going bad.
The batteries are an integral part of the system: by using the solar panel system to charge them by day, we can utilize the batteries by night, thus eliminating the need of running the generator.
But, since the batteries had gone bad, we had to run the generator a lot more-
which, in turn makes operating costs go up!
Recently we purchased new batteries, but last night we finally got to instal them!
As Andrew and Steve installed the 16 new batteries the power needed to be shut off.
This was unfortunate, since the sun began to go down about and hour before they finished!
They started about three o'clock in the afternoon, finally finishing around nine...
The moment of truth when everything was reconnected... will it work?
Hurray! It does!
