Default How many batteries

How many batteries do most of you run in a twin engine? I have four but thinking about cutting back to two.

I run three but that's just because I have a huge stereo. Two should be fine under normal conditions.

I run 2 starting batteries - 1 to each engine, and I have 1 deep cycle battery connected to house and stereo equipment. Works very well.
