Keep in mind the way these reports are generated. The incident is recorded by atc and someone at Transport Canada decides to get follow up. They call the director of maintenance and get a verbal report. They are expecting an SDR so there is no investigation and no fact checking. There is no way to tell fact from fiction.

Thinking about it, perhaps the crew never got the generators online or selected them off right before takeoff when attempting to action a different switch such as the igniters or anti ice vanes. Then when the gear is selected up the hydraulic pump drains the battery. Unlikely but not so unlikely as a faulty battery taking the gens offline.

   . . . too bad. There are many anomalous events
   that go unexplored yet reported in "never again"
   articles . . . or not at all.

   If the crew did mis-position switches and
   ran their battery down, it stands to reason
   that they would be reluctant to advertise
   the error . . . assuming also that they
   even know what brought it about.

   So much useful information lost in the noise.

6.5 minutes for total flight duration; generator loss to total battery failure and *then* fly to the next airport??
