Narrative:
We were cleared for takeoff on an IFR flight plan. When we began the takeoff roll I noticed that the battery was showing a discharge. We elected to abort the takeoff and check it out. It looks like we inadvertently had turned off generator 1 at some point. We reset it and ran the checklist. The battery was then charging properly and we elected to takeoff which was done without further issues.
