How to winterize batteries on the TT?

I have dual batteries for my TT. How should i care for them during winter? Also, if you plug in your TT does it keep your batteries charged or do I need to get a trickle down charger for each battery?
  • Leave them where they are at. Check the water level, add distilled water if necessary. Fully charge the batteries then disconnect either the negative cable or the positive cable. Come back next spring and re-charge the 10% of charge the batteries will lose over the winter.
    I have been doing this with my existing batteries for 8 years and they are still going strong.
  • If you keep the TT plugged in the converter will keep the batteries charged. If you don't keep it plugged remove the batteries and put them somewhere where it doesn't get extremely cold. A good full charged battery will stay full charged as long as there is no load on it.
