There was no charging set on a Mk.1 carrier. They were often added later, but there was no provision for one. Fresh batteries were brought to the carrier each morning, much like rations, and exchanged for the dead ones. These were taken back for charging in a lead lined 'Machinery I' 60 cwt truck. You also couldn't run the 12 volt negative ground wireless set off the 6 volt positive ground vehicle electrical system.
