THE PLT WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH HIS RADIOS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/ENG GAGES & AMMETER, SO HE TURNED OFF HIS ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT & PREPARED TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY LANDING. BECAUSE HE WAS AFRAID OF FUEL EXHAUSTION, HIS SPACING BEHIND ANOTHER ACFT IN THE LANDING PATTERN WAS CLOSE & HE ENCOUNTERED WAKE TURBULENCE AS HE FLARED. THE RGT WING HIT THEGROUND & THE ACFT SLID TO A STOP. AN EXAM REVEALED THAT THE BATTERY WAS DEAD, THERE WAS A FAULTY BATTERY CONTACTOR & THE STARTER WAS ENGAGED. DURING A TEST FLT AFTER REPAIRS, THE ALTERNATOR CONTROL UNIT MALFUNCTIONED. IT WAS CHANGED & NO FURTHER DISCREPANCIES WERE NOTED.
