Because, in Montreal, they can self discharge, freeze solid, burst

I see only one good solution. Dock the boat in Aruba until spring and stay
aboard it to "do battery maintenance", an excellent excuse why you can't go
back to Montreal until after the spring floods.

Problem solved. Rum anyone? Not a single battery in the Caribbean froze
solid last winter! I checked!
