Default Re: batteries and switches

A second battery sure helps to start the engine when one is dead.

SOME electronics drain minute amounts of current when not in use (electronic clocks, some GPS memory cards, etc).

Redundancy is a good thing with batteries, bilge pumps, communication methods, and a host of other things on boats...
