Been told on more than one occasion that a weak battery will pull-down a strong one. So, the rule has been, if one battery needs replacing, replace all. Saves a walk or a row.

Speaking of a row, you should have a rowboat as final backup on an island, in case of a powertrain failure - healthy battery(s) will be of little use; although the jump-pack might double as an anchor.
