## Discrepancy

(CAN) WHILE IN FORMATION FLIGHT, THE LT (BATTERY CHARGE) LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON FOR 15 MINUTES AND THEN EXTINGUISHED. AFTER LANDING AND ENGINES SHUTDOWN, THERE WAS NO MORE POWER COMING FROM THE BATTERIES.  AN INSPECTION WAS CARRIED OUT AND THE LT BATTERY WAS DISCOVERED (TOASTED) INCLUDING THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT. THE CAUSE WAS DETERMINED TO BE A BAD CONTACT ON THE NEGATIVE POLE. (TC NR 20070827006)
