Using a battery maintainer
I'm going to store my Ram diesel truck for about 5 months and want to keep the batteries charged with a battery maintainer. Will I need to disconnect the batteries to do this? ryoung

I've used different maintainers on different vehicles. My advice is to check the battery once a day or so for the first few weeks.
Some vehicles have resting loads that are larger than the output of some trickle chargers. So you have to make sure the charger you have is working on the vehicle you have.
And yes, if the resting load is too high you can deal with that by disconnecting the ground. But you won't necessarily have to.
