No.
The two-speed generator can be troublesome and many were service retro-modified
with the standard mil 90A alternator and control panel. The intention was to
provide some reasonable battery charge whilst moving very slowly in the designed
reconnaissance role.
The two-speed generator has a gearbox fed from a restricted engine supply,
whilst standing the gearbox can drain and it may take some time to re-establish
a supply.
