Batteries will self discharge when sitting with nothing hooked up to them. The rate is fairly low, but it is higher at warmer temps compared to lower temps. So a fully charged battery will fair better in the cold compared to in your basement.
Agreed. I quit bringing them in about ten years ago upon the urging of my local marina when I explained my typical battery life(2-3 year avg). I now enjoy longer battery life(4 years on TM), and my back isn't as sore. |
