I only have the one battery on board.

I personally would never run without 2 batteries. When I anchor up or when I drift and shut the motor off I switch to battery 2 to run all my electronics. When I get ready to fire up the motor I switch to both so I always have one fresh battery to fall back on. To me it's cheap insurance.
