Make-shift equipment had been built to extend the life support functions. And manual course corrections had to be performed. The tedious process of inventing a procedure for powering up the command module had been devised. The margin of error was very small. Each time during the tests on the simulator, they exceeded the acceptable power draw by four amps. It was realized that the extra amps could be draw from the lunar module’s batteries.
