From all the coaches I have worked on, my thumbnail survey would say that:
90% of the coaches start the APU with the house battery.
8% of the coaches start the APU with the main engine battery.
2% of the coaches start the APU with a dedicated battery.
About 2/3 of the emergency cross over switches actually work when needed.
1/3 of the A & C coach owners don't know where the house bank is actually located in the coach and have never checked the batteries at all.
I may be a little optimistic with the 2%.
