Thinking about it, perhaps the crew never got the generators online or selected them off right before takeoff when attempting to action a different switch such as the igniters or anti ice vanes. Then when the gear is selected up the hydraulic pump drains the battery. Unlikely but not so unlikely as a faulty battery taking the gens offline. |
. . . too bad. There are many anomalous events
that go unexplored yet reported in "never again"
articles . . . or not at all.
If the crew did mis-position switches and
ran their battery down, it stands to reason
that they would be reluctant to advertise
the error . . . assuming also that they
even know what brought it about.
So much useful information lost in the noise.

6.5 minutes for total flight duration; generator loss to total battery failure and *then* fly to the next airport??
