Temporary battery / generator control panel installed and functional . The switch on the bottom right between the fuses allows the use of the two battery banks ( 4 batteries in all ) to start the generators . Ingenious on the designer’s part . The larger fuse ( 60 amps ) is to protect the radios , the next one to the right ( 10 amps ) to protect the interior lighting fixtures and the two ( 30 amp ) either side of the switch , the double 300 Watt Chorehorse generators . Nice design . That’s why using the C-5 charging panel would be risky : no circuit protection in case a live wire shorts ... burning smell in a generator or radio and / or melting batteries . Interesting study in design . The porcelain switch on the top left is to select the battery bank feeding the radios . The cutoff switch to the right is to select what generator is charging what battery bank .
