Petespencer. We ha the same problem at Milfield. The unit had 4 AAA batteries that needed changing every now and then. Needed two people and a ladder. Problem solved be drilling a hole in the bottom of the unit, cabling out to a more convenient ledge in the hangar and using 4 U2 batteries. Lasted longer and easier to replace.

Two companies in Germany had them but both said 'we could export one but you aren’t worth the trouble'. Eventually I found a company in Spain who were happy to take the business.


Two days ago I received a towbar bought from https://www.umbrarimorchi.it/en/ free delivery by FedEx.
I didn't check my weather station at the time. :)
