Here's a nice read for you, dual ignition really is meant for a better burn in those big-bore engines. It even lessens the risk of engine knock!

double ignition gives an overall better burn performance, but it's more relevant on small engines than on large bore ones. A 100RPM drop on a 1650HP engine is negligible compared to the same drop on a 150HP. Besides don't give credit to stuff just because you read it on the internet dude, there are several inaccuracies in that "report", which by the way is on the detonation issue..
In a high performance military aeroplane redundancy has priority, especially considering the huge amount of power available.

That's not what I read in electrical schematics of aircraft.

it's probably because you don't know how to read them. And that's also why many planes now have backup generators.

Batteries warm up while charging, and during flight, they are continuously charged unless charging is shut off manually.

...so how can they freeze? And even if they did, batteries are not used during flight, it's all fed through the generator. Another thing, they're not continuously charged since they could overcharge. The circuit overload is controlled by means of breakers that... hang on a minute, have a read for yourself: this is the P-51 Pilot's manual, not some random guy's dissertation on detonation
P-51 Mustang Pilot's Manual
browse words like "battery" and read about how the electrical circuit works.. also read the engine turn off procedure and see how you want to switch the plane off. Magnetos go OFF.

That's why I started the topic in the first place! The battery won't keep it for long is something else than immediately dead systems.

It's all down to the kind of aeroplane we're talking about.

Kommandogerät is one example, prop pitch governor on the P38 is another. The mags will work anyway and if the rest fails, you still have a chance to get home.

again, it's all down to the plane. See what a Pilatus Porter pilot thinks of generator failures
