Narrative:
I was on IFR at 25000 ft on AR7 when I lost the left generator then right generator. I couldn't get them back on line. I ran on battery and landed at new hanover international. Mechanic worked on the generator connections and with a gpu start, generators came on line. No further problem continued flight to bos area. I was flying a twin small transport.
