## Discrepancy

AFTER TAKEOFF RECEIVED LEVEL 2 BATTERY DISCHARGING  ALERT REFERRED TO QRH RETURNED TO DEPARTURE.  DURING  DECENT ALERT WENT AWAY.  SAME ALERT APPEARED ON FINAL FOR 15-30 SECONDS BUT WENT AWAY PRIOR TO TOUCHDOWN.  R & R BOTH MAIN SHIPS BATTERIES.  REF AMM 24-34-02-4.  REPLACED MAIN BATTERY CHARGER.  REF AMM 24-34-03-5.  OPS CHECK ON BATTERIES AND BATTERY CHARGER GOOD.
