I don’t know the B777 systems, can anybody comment?
Brake accumulator YES, but no elec DC pump for brake system/accu.

Brake system accumulator supposedly allows approximately 6 brake applications when fully charged. Surely when towing an aircraft "deadship" one would supply EXT PWR and charge the brake system accumulator first BEFORE carrying out said towing operation. Am I missing something here?
