Wasted effort. A fully charged battery will not freeze until about -70F and being stored in moderate cold actually extends their useful
life.
Don't know if that is accurate. I'm from Maine, and every boat storage facility I have ever seen removes deep cycle batteries from boats they are storing and puts a trickle charge on them in a heated building... and it gets cold there but never -70! Let's hear some other expert opinions from Rv'ers on whether it is a worth it to remove the battery over the winter and bring it inside where it can get a charge every 4-6 weeks.. If not, every boat storage facility in Maine has it wrong and is wasting time! A boat battery is deep cycle just like an RV, so no difference there.
Sorry. Hit quote on the wrong thread.
