I agree. Just be sure they are fully charged at the time and they will retain their charge. They will also survive freezing temperatures much better.
Remove the negative battery cable and they will stay charged.
The same rules apply to both the house and chassis battery.
If the storage lot is the least questionable in regards to security, I would placed the fully charged batteries inside the rig out of sight.
It can't hurt to place the batteries in a plastic tub so if they leak for some reason, the battery acid doesn't go in the coach.
If there is power available and the storage lot has solid security, one can use a battery maintainer like a Battery Minder to keep them charged and desulfated, so they are ready to go come next season.CA Traveler wrote:
