Solar panel: Winterize or leave batteries in during storage
We have a Stealth with the Go Power 160w solar panel system. I read the manual and the charger seems to be pretty high tech with lots of battery maintenance features built in.
We plan to use our trailer a few times during the winter and it would be a lot easier to leave the battery in and let the solar system maintain it. GP electronics recommends covering the panel and removing the battery during the winter.
Anyone in a cold climate just leave the batteries in and let the solar panel do its job?
BTW we have the battery disconnect switch inside at the convert and disconnect it when not in use.
