Voltage climbing steadily.

Yesterday cell no.10 continued falling until it bottomed out at 215mv 0.77ma around mid-afternoon.  Since then it has been climbing steadily.  At the time of this log, no.10 is gently settling into 223mv 0.8ma.  Just 10mv more and we will exceed the reassembly voltage of 232mv.  At that point I will consider the cell to be properly incubating... Finally.

Here's a mugshot of no.10, sporting the latest in fall fashions...lol.  That black dot is my temperature sensing location, just above that you can see some holes I poked in the container, closer to the substrate so heavier gasses don't puddle up and choke out the cathode...  No idea if they have helped honestly, once it has become fully stable I may experiment with them more.
