## Discrepancy

(CAN) PILOT EXPERIENCED TOTAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE.  MAINTENANCE FOUND RT ALTERNATOR FEED CURCUIT BREAKER POPPED & LT ALTERNATOR OUTPUT VERY LOW.  BATTERIES FOUND TO BE DEPLETED DOWN TO A LOW VOLTAGE DUE TO BOTH ALTERNATORS NOT FEEDING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.  MAINTENANCE IS STILL IN THE PROCESS OF DETERMINING CAUSE.  WE WILL UPDATE WITH MORE INFO WHEN AVAILABLE.
