Battery in Michigan winter ?
Just picked up our new 5th wheel. Was wondering what to do with the battery for the winter? Should I remove the battery from the coach and keep inside till spring? Thanks for your responce

Charged until full then utterly disconnected, batteries do the hibernation snore very well. Cold temps mean minimum self discharge and minimum activity of the battery acid gnawing on the plates. At -20F plate erosion is about a third that at 50F
The only thing to watch for is a smart charger out-stipiding itself and declaring the battery charged at 70% state of charge.
Definition of "Disconnected" either battery terminal with zero wires connected to it.
