Take them out and store them above 32F. Do not trickle them dry all
winter. Charge them once a month with an automatic SHUTOFF battery
charger. Trickle overcharging, and it will, just destroys them and does
nothing about plate sulfation.



A trickle charger and a float maintainer charger are not the same.
A float charger will not overcharge or run a battery dry.
A trickle charger can.
