Talk:FS Class E.421

Looking at the photo, I think the loco has got collector shoes to enable the battery to be charged from the third rail. A 450V battery would require about 540V for charging so, with a bit of resistance in the circuit, it could be charged from the 650V third rail. Can anyone confirm this?
