I confirm De facto is right and still the same on CL.
And I add that when the APU has finished starting on initial power up for the day the DC amp meter should show a large charge indication after the Right GEN BUS switch is placed ON. When putting the Left GEN BUS switch on the DC amps meter should “flicker” and return to a large charge indication. This check will show that the alternate and primary power sources for the BATTERY CHARGER are operational.
Just to clarify that the AFTM of B737 specify that would be better in flight after the normal checks, do not leave the switch on battery as in this way some power is consumed from the battery.
