Keeping Batteries Charged in Winter

Here's to keeping my batteries healthy through the winter. I have them in a heated garage, wired in parallel, and attached to a trickle charger. I'll keep an eye on the water level every couple weeks, and fill with distilled water as needed.

I've learned much from these forums. Thanks, everyone!

    You could have left them on the TT and added a Charge Wizard controller to your onboard power supply converter. It does more than a trickle charge it also stirs the batteries. Its about $25 and takes 5 minutes to install. I have had my TT plugged in for 11 years with 6volt flooded batteries. I do like your setup by why move them if you dont have to?

    I leave mine on the TT but hook it up to a multi stage marine battery charger/maintainer. works great.
