In a Dual battery electric system architecture, like Z-14 for example, the Aux Battery will not be charging in flight unless the aux batt. Switch is flipped On (thus closing the Aux Batt contactor), right? Carlos ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:52:59 PM PST US From: "Robert L.

In Z-14, normal ops are conducted with everything ON except the cross-feed contactor. On other dual battery systems with only one alternator and perhaps an aux alternator, then both battery contactors are closed during normal operations to be charged in parallel.
