The thing is that if the prop actually stops, and the airspeed is anything like cruise, the engine is unlikely to restart because it must be well jammed. In that case, I would conserve battery power for flaps and gear operation, rather than sending hundreds of amps into a starter motor which will just jam solid as soon as it engages.
