I'm not sure exactly what type of charging system the

912 has (I think it's an alternator bult into the

flywheel) but no matter what type it is, most

airplanes will not charge a dead or nearly dead

battery because the solenoid that connects the battery

to the rest of the electrical system requires battery

power. So when you flip the master switch, if the

battery has no juice, the battery cannot be connected

to the alternator, generator, stator etc it makes no

difference if the engine is running or not. Some of

the master relays may require more juice than others

but they all need some. It's like when you try to

start your car with a dead battery, and you hear the

solenoid clicking, without enough juice to fully

engage the solenoid.
