In my trailer - I suspect in all - the batteries are connected
(internally, i.e., inside the trailer) in parallel. You should not have
any trouble running on just one battery for a while - just be sure to wrap
the remaining terminal (positive side) so it doesn't accidentally short out
- that could cause a fire.
It's generally a good idea to replace both batteries at the same
time, with identical batteries. So, get two batteries, and don't wait too
long to replace that connector.
