Mike,
I have two batteries on Rum Runner. Both are side by side under  the v berth. 
I  
have all the running lights on one battery and  everything else on the other. 
 
Eventually I would want to have  everything go to both batteries using a 
switch. 
My stereo is the biggest  drain on juice, that's why I've kept it separate 
from  the running  lights. I have two group 27's and have never run out of 
juice. 
I've   put a strain on the system, but have always had enough. My solar panel 
was  taken  out by a hail stone several years ago and I have a charger 
mounted  
on the peg  board in the V  berth.

Rummy
