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.


Makes sense, but if one is topping them off once a month the rate of discharge is fairly irrelevant.

I'll probably use them from ice fishing anyway, so they won't just sit.
