Default battery storage, remove or not ??

In article nyALg.20417$%_1.9062@trndny07, says...


Is it necessary to remove the batteries in the boat for winter storage? I'm
thinking: remove and store in garage ( cold there ). Leave in boat ( cold
there ).

So, why remove?

Why indeed? I leave our 4Ds in the boat after fully topping them up and
charging them. Then I disconnect them completely. In the Spring when
reconnected they start the engine instantly after being idle for about five
months.
