My reason for not keeping a trickle charge on them constantly or over winter is I think the more you charge them the more you wear the plates down. Again I have not heard much discussion about that just MHO based on my experience.
The Trojan battery guide mentions that topic. A constant trickle charge is not the ideal storage method. I made a post about it a year ago because i found it interesting as well.
It seems many on here keep a constant charge on their batteries as a best practice, glad to see others think differently. I just wonder if anyone has determined or read how much plate is shed by a constant charge over x amount of time?
