Bartableman7 Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 I like to continue fishing out in my bass boat through the winter months on power plant lakes. The temps are easily in the 30s. Can I just leave the batteries on the auto charger in the cold weather? Will this damage the batteries? I usually bring the batteries inside but that's a pain with three big batteries. Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted January 19, 2020 Super User Posted January 19, 2020 Depends on what batteries you have and what charger. Quote
DanielG Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 A good battery charger can be left on at any time in my experience. Don't they have an auto mode? If the battery has juice in it it won't freeze and the charger won't know what time of year it is. Quote

I always call the manufacturer and ask before leaving one on for extended periods. I have been told both ways. Quote
