No, a breaker pops.

Personally, I'm more interested in the accident investigation - all we
know at the moment is the pilot had a discharged battery and the engines
quit.

How do we know that there were not two systems that were failed on the
aircraft - such as the backup generator (which has been mentioned) as
well as the battery? We don't until the accident investigation
concludes.
