Narrative:

I departed orlando sanford airport, VFR, at approximately XA30 dec/xa/98. The WX was 2500 ft broken and 7 mi visibility. About 15 mins after departure, I had a complete electrical failure. I continued to hold heading and altitude as I troubleshot the problem. I reset the battery circuit breaker and got both alternators back on-line. I may have entered the daytona beach regional airport class C airspace. I immediately executed a left turn to clear class C airspace as soon as possible.
