IF you experience a power failure in flight, with the standby power switch in AUTO, you will get an auto power transfer - all fine and dandy. If you land in this configuration, then you will lose the standby power on touch down - i.e. at night things will suddenly go black in the cockpit!
The battery charger has nothing to do with this switch.. . [quote]Battery Charger Transformer/Rectifier
The purpose of the battery charger is to restore and maintain the battery at full electrical power. The battery charger is powered through the AC ground service bus with provisions for automatic switching to main bus 2 when the ground service bus is unpowered.<hr></blockquote>
