Battery storage question

[Mr. 16 gauge]

What's the best way to store a marine battery for winter..........fully charged or fully drained of charge?

[fatboy]

full charge and cold is good for the winter.

[FIJI]

Fully charged + full electrolyte

(unless you don't want to ever use it again !)

store where it won't freeze and where off gassing does not present a fire hazard.


:D :cool:

I've stored them fully charged all winter. Never had a problem. Store them on a shelf, Never on a floor! You want them to have even temperature. When they see colder temps on the bottom and room temp on the rest they warp the plates and they are done. I proved that one year.
