Winterizing - what to do with batteries
What’s the consensus on batteries...remove from boat? Simply unhook from battery cables and leave in boat? Or hook up to onboard charger for rest of winter?
Being in Texas the boat will be winterized about 4 months at most.

My boat is stored indoors. I disconnect the grounds, connect the onboard charger and leave plugged in so they get tickled all winter. I don't charge in the summer months as we are always using it.

I leave mine all hooked up with the perko switch off. I plug in the on board charger once or twice per winter. I store it inside in a heated shop though.

I just leave my onboard charger plugged in the whole winter. Never had a problem. Don't know if that is right or wrong but that's how I have done it.

Batteries, all depends as each situation is different. My boat is stored in an enclosed storage unit, not heated and it gets cold at 6,000 feet. I take my batteries out and will keep them in my basement where it's warm. Although right now they are in my garage. Before I go get the boat out of storage in the spring I will hook them up to a charger to insure they are ready to go.

Dropped off the boat for winterization this morning. I'll leave the batteries hooked up and on a maintainer.

I used to pull the battery each year and put it on a maintainer but the last two years I leave it connected in the boat with the maintainer. It sits outside. Too much work pulling the battery out.
