## Discrepancy

DEPARTED AND BEGAN CLIMB TO 11000 FT.  ABOUT 20 MINUTES INTO FLT, RECEIVED A BATTERY LIGHT ON CAWS PANEL AND A MASTER CAUTION.  CONFIRMED THAT THE NR 1 GENERATOR WAS NOT PUTTING OUT 28 VOLTS & BATTERY DISCHARGING.  TURNED OFF ELECTRICAL AIR CONDITIONING & STOPPED BATTERY & IT BEGAN TO CHARGE.  AUTOPILOT DISCONNECTED AND YAW DISCONNECTED.  RAN EMERGENCY CHECKLIST & ATTEMPTED A GEN 1 RESET BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.  GEN 2 WORKED PROPERLY & OTHER THAN THE AIR CONDITIONING, DID NOT LOSE ANY OTHER ELECTRICAL ITEMS.  DECIDED TO RETURN.  DID NOT DECLARE AN EMERGENCY.  LANDED NORMALLY.
