I agree with Steve. Leave them in the boat. Do not take them out and bring them inside a warm basement.

I always left my onboards plugged in. Never had any problems in 20 plus years.

Why shouldn't one bring them inside? If one keeps them fully charged it shouldn't make much difference should it?

I wouldn't recommend storing them on a concrete floor, however.

Leaving them sit on concrete isn't an issue anymore. When cases were made of rubber many years ago, they would leach through, and promote a greater discharge rate. That is not the case, (NPI) with the plastic used now.
