Super User MickD Posted October 29, 2019 Super User Posted October 29, 2019 I've seen recommendations to remove batteries during winter storage in cold areas like MI, but am wondering whether it is important or not. I'm getting older, and my batteries in my boat are not easily accessible, so I've been leaving them in the boat, connected to "smart" chargers, and have not yet seen any problems. I will appreciate any knowledgeable comments. thanks, mick Quote
ike8120 Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 I was always told to remove, store in a cool dry place, so that they don't freeze. Also to put them on a piece of wood. Quote
