My son left master switch on truck for the past week and batteries were completely dead. Since i do not own a 24V charger,![IMG_3283.jpg IMG_3283.jpg](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/data/attachments/446/446284-2749969515c6f70e2a74c99f0c80e098.jpg)
i had to charge all batteries individually. When I opened the box, I saw this individual wire without a connector taped to negative cable. Was wondering if it is supposed to be hooked up, is it factory?
Also, after i got the truck started, voltage gauge was reading normal, so decided to take it for a spin. Next thing i noticed is volts in yellow (discharge) and a smell of electrical burning. Got back, thank goodness, and popped hood, and it looks like black soot on back half of generator and soot from windings of generator. Would i have fried the generator somehow in charging the batteries or is it pure coincidence?
