I'm curious : is the charging mechanism of this motor considered an
alternator (would it indeed be damaged switching batteries) ? I think the
Honda 15 I had, which actually had a higher amperage than the 50, just had
what I thought were magnets in the flywheel. At least there was no
alternator that i would recognise.

No problem, the alternator is self limited. It's not a good idea to
operate the switch with the engine running however, because *that* can
cause alternator damage.
