I have my trailer and mower battery in my garage, which is usually <32 degrees. I have a battery minder smart charger. I put it on one battery one week and the other battery the next week, then keep swapping until spring.

Make sure batteries are NOT sitting on "CONCRETE"!!!!!!!!!!!

Sitting on concrete was with early batteries. Does not do anything to new style batteries. Early, as in tar topped.

Not sure if that is true or not,,,
I am taking no chances,,, any batteries that I am not using are set on a wooden 2x6 in the basement!!!!

Agree. The newer cases are not affected by concrete.
