6793 2024-05-15 Tonzi Battery Bank soil co2 Upgrade Tonzi Battery Bank soil co2 I replaced the three flooded batteries in the Soil CO2 battery bank with two new SLA group 27 batteries. The cows had chewed up all the wiring. I replaced all the wires. Now only the two larger 40W panels are connect resulting in about 4.5A. The charge controller is only 6A. The new power line runs to the OSU SP1 box.
6209 2023-03-01 Tonzi Battery Bank soil co2 Replaced Tonzi Battery Bank soil co2 I brought the three batteries last remove from HS and put them under the solar panels. I rewired all the panels into a terminal strip. I used one of the old batteries for the fence charger and brought the rest in.
5962 2022-08-25 Tonzi Battery Bank soil co2 Maintenance Tonzi Battery Bank soil co2 This battery bank had been without batteries since its batteries were moved to the Tower a few weeks ago. I installed three old batteries from the Floor system that tested ok with the load tester. I rewired the two larger solar panels to 12V. The two smaller panels had there leads chewed and I left them disconnected for now.
5944 2022-08-05 Tonzi Battery Bank soil co2 Maintenance Tonzi Battery Bank soil co2 The batteried in this bank have been temporarily removed to power the Tower. Likely this bank will be repopulated to power the OSU-SP1 system and a couple FD chambers as the Vaisala soil CO2 system is decommissioned.
5353 2021-06-24 Tonzi Battery Bank soil co2 Maintenance Tonzi Battery Bank soil co2 Added about 1.5 gallons of DI to the four batteries in total. No plates exposed.
4068 2019-08-22 Tonzi Upgrade Tonzi Six old weak batteries (four currently connected) were brought back to the lab and four new Duracell deep cycle flooded group 27 batteries were installed in pairs for a 24V system. The new batteries have 09/19 (Sept/2019) stickers.
4069 2019-07-16 Tonzi Maintenance Tonzi There are six batteries in three pairs for a 24V system – the original four plus two more we added last winter. Two of the originals test a little weak with the load tester so I disconnected them from the bank.
3818 2018-12-13 Tonzi Upgrade Tonzi This system has been failing overnight partly because one set of Vaisala probes have not been cycling off. I also added to old batter most recently used on East End.
3546 2018-06-26 Tonzi Maintenance Tonzi The top of the plates were visible in almost all cells. I refilled them all with DI water.
3543 2010-01-27 Tonzi Maintenance Tonzi I moved and combined the east 24V system with the west 24V system. Four panels in two pairs now feed two pairs of batteries through one charge controller.
3542 2010-01-08 Tonzi Upgrade Tonzi I replaced both pairs of batteries in new pairs marker November 2009.
