Common instruments on small aircraft

We still have to wait on the battery to be ordered which takes at least
a day. And assuming the best case scenario of it getting put in
sometime tomorrow, I will then be forced two wait at least another two
days due to weather.

Depending upon what type of plane we're talking about and whether the plane
is close by and the flight can be made in daylight, one option might be to
jumpstart or hand prop the aircraft and fly it back to your home field... Or
grab a battery out of another plane and take it there for temporary use to
get back to your home airport... I've had a battery die (or drain because of
leaving something on) before and I just hand propped it and flew it back...
