Good point

Split pin,
Sorry, yes, I should have made distinction that battery charging is a little more sophisticated on the big 'uns. Thanks for that.
I've been stuck in sticks on several occasions when, not having met the aircraft, I've opened a "dead" aircraft after 3 hours on the ground to be greeted by the ominous sound of the Stby Altimeter vibrator. In fact, this spawned a memorable thread on Jet Blast along the lines of "Why Can't Pilots Switch The Battery Off?". They invariably deny having forgotten to do so.
