There is a weight penalty for every aeroplane which needs to be offset against fuel. Will one pushback be more expensive than lugging the equipment (say 500 kg inc batteries as I somehow doubt an APU providing enough amps to drag the aeroplane about)

ermm, am i missing something? How could batteries be more powerful than an APU gen?
