An emergency battery that can be easily switched into the radio
circuit is something I'm going to install. It may be a dry cell set
that won't self discharge and can be completely isolated from the rest
of the system. With our little diesel, it might even start the engine
in a pinch.

I have one of those Canadian Tire emergency batteries on board. It
includes 12 v outlets, a small inverter and battery cables for exactly
one serious boost. There are "nautical" versions that even have nav
lights G.
