Battery Storage
During the winter, the batteries should be removed
from the trailer and stored in a cool, dry place, where
there is no danger of freezing. They should be kept
full of water, cleaned, and charged monthly. A battery
that is allowed to completely lose its charge will never
regain its original power or a full charge.
The following recommendations may be helpful if the
battery is to be stored:
•
When storing the battery in a vehicle or vessel, it is
not necessary to leave it on charge. Disconnect the
negative battery cable. This will prevent inadvertent
discharging of the battery which may lead to a
complete discharge.
•
Fully charge the battery before putting it in storage
and store in a cool place.
•
Charge the battery every 30 to 60 days to ensure
maximum battery life.
NOTE
A battery will self-discharge 1-3% per month at 80
degrees.
