PIC of alternator restart battery's location

[mshac]

So I was under the pedestal working on my flap switch when I noticed some Duracell batteries. There are FOUR(4) "C" size batteries that will re-excite the alternator and make it produce power again after a total electrical system failure. With no aircraft battery power available, the alternators would be unable to begin making power after being taken offline without these batteries.

Mine were dated "BEST BY 2001" - LOL!!! They are fresh now. And be careful how they sit in the holder - its easy for them not to be in correct alignment, and therefore not have a complete circuit. If you look closely at the second pic, you'll see the batteries are slightly catawampus.

Photos were taken from the pilot's foot well, looking up. The plastic tubes are for the alternate static air source, which should help you locate the batteries.
