Why do A330 and other types have an APU battery?

For the test pilots and engineers out there. Why have an APU battery?

My guess:
1. Located closer to the APU than the ships batteries might help with starting.
2. Located in an easier position and perhaps lighter than ships batteries to allow for easier removal when securing for cold soak.

Any ideas?

Thanks
