On Friday I removed all my batteries to check them out and start installing my Farman battery heater pads. I used my equalizer to fully charge each battery, and do a little equalization on them. I got them to about all the same voltage, which was real nice to see.

I was hoping to get the pads installed today, but was distracted and haven't gotten around to testing the pads in the basement. I had to build my own temperature control circuit and I tested it out on a light bulb, now I need to test it on the pads. What is does it turn the pads on until they reach 75F, then shut off until they reach 69F and turn on again.

Tomorrow is looking like another snow day, so I might actually get time to finish the circuit that controls the cabin heat. I have it planned out, but needs to build the board then write the software for it.
