I was able to sit in the cockpit for more than 2 hours using ONLY the Battery. I did NOT turn the APU ON, I did NOT open the Simicons Panel and select EP to provide External Power.
This is how my OH Panel looked:
I even turned the ADF IDENT switch ON (circled on the 2D Radio Panel) to help try to drain power. After more than 2 hours, I got tired of waiting for the power to drain, so I went for a flight.
I have not been able to make it happen again, no matter how hard I try, since I first reported it.
