Default Lead/acid batteries this winter

My RV guy said that I should checked the fluid level and charged my battery
once a month. Boats should be the same.

I also learned that you should charge your deep cycle electric motor battery
as soon as you get home. Letting batteries lay around without being fully
charged is not good for them.


What might be better is to remove the battery and leave it in at least a
partially heated area. I am planning to do that with mine, leaving it in a
heated garage where it would be easier to keep an eye on it, checking fluid
level and an occasional trickle charge.
