Anyone knows why the need two huge (for aircraft) battery packs? Seems to me once the APU is started you don’t need that much juice. Same, same for the engines. They each have dual generators.

The control surfaces are electrically operated. What do you do if the fuel is contaminated or gone, and the APU won't start?
