As stated; if you charge them fully and then disconnect the +ve terminal (or use a disconnect switch); Should stay charged for many months.

I used to do this until I installed solar panels; Now the solar panels keep the
the batteries charged all year (I have a disconnect switch - so battery is isolated)
