Assistance needed with Pioneer Hut maintenance

If you're planning a trip into Pioneer in the next month, we need your help!
We have a couple of maintenance issues that need attending to:

1. Battery - the current one is not holding any charge, hence we need to replace it. If you are flying in & have a spare place in the chopper, let us know - the new battery is kinda big & heavy (approx 3 times the size of your standard car battery, weighing approx 15kg) but otherwise fairly unobtrusive :-)

2. Water tank - we've had reports that both the gate valve and inside ball valve are knackered, but we'd like a bit more info (and ideally some photos and measurements) so we can fix it.

If you can help with either of these issues, please contact Ollie Clifton at NZAC National Office.
