<p dir="auto">In the POH Supplement 20 (Standby Electrical System), Section 4 Normal Procedures, ENGINE SHUTDOWN (page S20-7) it says:</p>
<p dir="auto">"The standby alternator receives field current from the keep alive 2<br />
circuit so in an emergency condition, the standby alternator can be<br />
brought on line without turning on the batteryswlich. Normal<br />
engine shutdown procedures call for turning the standby power<br />
switch off prior to shutting the engine down and turning the battery<br />
switch off. If the standby power switch is inadvertently left on,<br />
several of the red lights in the annunciator panel will remain<br />
illuminated after the battery switch is turned off. The illuminated<br />
annunciators , serve as a reminder to turn off the standby power<br />
switch and thereby preclude draining the airplane's battery."</p>
<p dir="auto">In the sim I don't see this. With the engine shut down and the standby power switch left ON, turning the battery switch OFF extinguishes all annunciators, so no red lights remain.</p>
