Narrative:
On jan/tue/06 at about XA00; I departed on an IFR flight plan. After takeoff; runway heading to 1500 ft and then I was given right turn to 300 degree heading. I turned to 300 degree heading but mistakenly started climbing and announced that on readback. I was told to descend to 1500 ft; which I did (was not more than 300 ft as I recall). Radio communication was poor and scratchy. Later on; I noticed negative charge on my ammeter and suddenly lost power to my electrical. I landed the first airport that I found. There was no injury; no damage. Corrective action: I should not have climbed when I was given 300 degree heading; but just announce and confirm; then climb.

Title: A C210 CLBED FROM 1500 FT EARLY BUT DSNDED AFTER AN ATC ADVISORY. LATER; THE ACFT EXPERIENCED A TOTAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE CAUSING THE PLT TO DIVERT TO THE NEAREST ARPT.
Narrative: ON JAN/TUE/06 AT ABOUT XA00; I DEPARTED ON AN IFR FLT PLAN. AFTER TKOF; RWY HDG TO 1500 FT AND THEN I WAS GIVEN R TURN TO 300 DEG HDG. I TURNED TO 300 DEG HDG BUT MISTAKENLY STARTED CLBING AND ANNOUNCED THAT ON READBACK. I WAS TOLD TO DSND TO 1500 FT; WHICH I DID (WAS NOT MORE THAN 300 FT AS I RECALL). RADIO COM WAS POOR AND SCRATCHY. LATER ON; I NOTICED NEGATIVE CHARGE ON MY AMMETER AND SUDDENLY LOST PWR TO MY ELECTRICAL. I LANDED THE FIRST ARPT THAT I FOUND. THERE WAS NO INJURY; NO DAMAGE. CORRECTIVE ACTION: I SHOULD NOT HAVE CLBED WHEN I WAS GIVEN 300 DEG HDG; BUT JUST ANNOUNCE AND CONFIRM; THEN CLB.
