I think 25.1351(d) pretty much defines the capacity. Back in my day at Boeing, we used 30 minutes (for the 767 and 747-400). But an argument can be made to extend this if the airplane can glide for a longer time from maximum certified altitude all the way down.

In other words, enough power for the essential systems including engine ignition in order to attempt re-lighting them.
