    In other words, if this battery has real value as a backup

    energy source, does this not speak poorly of any efforts

    to make the additional battery unnecessary in the first place?

Not necessarily.  With an electrically dependant, auto-conversion engine 
	


you have ignition, control computers and fuel pumps which must all be 

fed a healthy diet of electrons at somewhere around 15A.  Even with the 

'backup' battery, it would not be possible to burn through all the 

usable fuel on board in case of an alternator failure.  A 20Ah unit 

would be marginal at best.  The extra battery capacity in this case 

carries very real benefits.
