Flew a short cross country a week ago and after the plane sat on the ground for 6 hours, it wouldn't start.  Had it jumped and it started right up, flew home no problems.  Generator charged fine.  Battery tested fine.  I did notice that the generator had gone offline during takeoff but when I backed off to 25 squared the yellow undercharge light went off an no other events.


So I got to troubleshooting.  Turns out there was a bit of corrosion on the negative ground wire going from the frame to the battery.  Cleaned that off, recharged the battery fully and no problems.  Lesson learned...and an easy one!
