If I remember rightly, the batteries are rated at 88 amp/hr total output. Even with a generator off-line, the prop will still feather quickly. Not theoretical - I've done it plenty of times in the hangar without external power.

I'm afraid to say that some observations posted in this thread are way off track; certain contributor's systems memories seem to be worse than mine, which makes me feel a little better.
