Storing Batteries in Winter
Just purchased a 2004 BT Cruiser. The previous owner told me that when he stored the motor home for the winter, he never took out the batteries. I have always removed the batteries and stored them...

If you want to keep a battery topped up just hook up any cheapie charger to it, but plug the charger into a $5 lamp timer and set it to go on for just 1 or 2 hours out of every 24.
I got no problem with that.....or at least just a little one or two. ;-)
"Cheap" chargers are more likely to suddenly fail. If they fail in a manner that the output voltage goes UP you could have a problem.
The ON duration might need to be adjusted a little if, for instance, the charger is low capacity and the battery is LARGE.
p.s. I have no idea why you think it will make any significant difference at what time of day, or temperature, the run time is set for.
