So the plan is to just leave them in place and put trickle chargers on
each battery over winter.

Any thoughts?


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.


Why store above 32F? That makes no sense.



BTW .... my comments relate to lead/acid batteries, maintenance free or
regular. I don't know how AGMs deal with freezing temps.
