I'm seriously thinking about just leaving the batteries in my Ranger
over the winter rather than taking them out and storing them
downstairs. We'll be doing a makeover on the basement this winter and
moving the batteries around will be a pain, not to mention power
availability as we're completely renovating.

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

Any thoughts?

My sole thought is that if you were switch to high-quality AGM batteries,
this is just one of many battery issues and questions that you would never
have to trouble yourself with again. Liberating your mind completely from
the burden of battery maintenance will allow for the pursuit of more noble
endeavors with room to spare for a few whackjob ideas, as well. I speak
from experience on all counts.
