Battery Update, May 22nd

The graph was created on May 22nd, when we regained contact with the station after a week-long modem outage and could have another look at its battery levels.  My own emailed update from this date reads as follows:
I'm attaching a graph of battery voltages since go-live April 30th. Right when I'd given up on these batteries ever climbing above 12V, they seem to be improving. So we remain uncertain what the long-term prospects for these batteries are. I would say there is certainly no immediate danger of out-and-out battery failure, though.
