Sitting on the sofa and eating popcorn is not a workout. A Twenty One Day vacation. Boondocking. Seven years. Daily 50% DOD. One full cycle. Fourteen times seven. Do the math. Do you boondock 3 weeks a year?
Where did this notion of cold weather being tough on a battery come from? A battery is a pile of lead and plastic - not a poodle. It adores -40C as long as it is charged. A battery that hibernates in Arctic clime will far outlive another that spends winters at 30C or even 0C.
Acid does things for a living - eating plates is one of them. Ice cold acid is almost inert to human flesh. Stick yoir finger in 70C electrolyte and you won't have a finger left.
