LP2A Carrier Radio Installation

[Lynn Eades]

Ian, Does this help? and I might be corrected here.
The standard Universal carrier (MkI or MkI*) (English or Canadian) had a 6 volt battery on the left rear floor. It was a dedicated carrier battery for the starting and running of the carrier along with its standard fittings (lights , horn etc)
It also had a battery box at the rear that carried two 6 volt batteries that were dedicated radio batteries. These batteries were charged with the likes of a chore horse charger (6volt during WWII)
The batteries were obviously hooked up to the radio as an entirely independent circuit. They would possibly have been disconnected from the radio for charging (connected in parallel for charging and series for radio operation)
On later carriers like my Armoured O.P. MkIIIw, there was stowage provision for the gen set, on the left rear.
Also if it helps, the (later)19 set is rubber mounted. (I know very little about radios)
