One thing batteries do not like is being left in a partial state of charge for extended periods of time. So while the battery may not freeze, and it may stay partially charged, it won't remain at 100% SOC, It will slowly discharge. Maybe not a lot, but in any event it's better to make sure it periodically get's fully charged (every few weeks or every month) rather than leave it in a partially charged state. While in an extended partial charge state some of lead sulfate as the battery discharges will become crystals that don't go back to lead when recharged, leaving you with less battery capacity.
