[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 506187, member: 3438"] Just for clarity, when I did take the time/effort to bring the battery's inside, never left any on the charger for more than 24 hours. Don't own a trickle charger. So, the only difference was inside vs outside. I wouldn't think of leaving a charger hooked up, long term, to the boat, with everything hooked up. Today's motors and electronics have too many components that can be wiped out with high voltage spikes. I always have all the seats and compartments open, during winter storage. Just for good airflow and preventing mold/mildew. The covers I use, are far from fully sealed. Charging a couple times during the winter is not going to create an explosivve environment, in my condtions. [/QUOTE]
