[QUOTE="Ristorapper, post: 231873, member: 810"] those that think leaving them plugged into your on board charger all winter in your garage best be aware of coming home to your garage smelling like acid and filled with smoke. Happened just three houses down from me. Yes it was an onboard charger in the boat during the middle of winter. Onboard charger failure i'm guessing. I always topped my batteries off prior to storage and either left them outside in the boat when i didn't have enough garage space or left them in the boat in the garage if I did have the space. I never left them plugged into the charger. If I had access I'd plug them in periodically to check on the charge. Never did the batteries need much of a charge to top off again. If you are unsure of a battery draining during storage, unhook the wires from one terminal of the battery. I always did this as I did not have a master switch. Take care of your batteries. Plug them in ASAP when you get home from the lake/river. Plug them in anytime you have used them so that they can get back up to full charge AS soon AS Possible. I always did this even before I took a knife to the fish. Doing all this gave me much more service life from my batteries than what i had heard others were getting out of theirs. Baby them, it will be worth it. [/QUOTE]
