Narrative:
I was losing electrical power approaching class B and tried to tell approach several times. I finally got through and communicated with approach to let them know; but I did not say emergency because I did not know if it was considered an emergency. Then right after I was passed on to [tower] I lost completely all electrical power including radios (so no possible communication) and since landing gear would not come down or flaps etc. I circled one time to try showing no gear down and pumped the manual landing gear to land.
