Winter Battery storage?
I'm just wondering what the right way to store your batteries for the winter, Do you just remove it and store it in the basement, or keep a trickle charger on it for the winter?
Forum Discussion
Lots of opinions on this, and many good/correct ones.
I, personally, leave the batteries where they are, and connect a $20 Schumacher battery maintainer from Walmart when they're in storage. I generally get several years out of each of my batteries. Ironically enough I have one or more batteries in everything that's in my barn, EXCEPT the camper! If my camper had a battery, I would give it the same treatment as the truck, trailer, five tractors, and lawn mower.
