Winter Storage ?
A simple question - but wanted advice from the masses
My baby is now in its winter slumber ( sucks! )
Should I totally disconnect the battery or trickle charge a few times/month.
Thanks!

battery in storage
I left the battery in place but disconnected the cables. The car was 2 months old when I put it on jackstands. I left it like this for over two years while I was deployed overseas. When I got back, I connected the cables and it fired right up. The battery lasted another 3 years.

Thanks all! Sounds like the tender is the way to go.
I sometimes wonder why I live where I live. Love the change of season's - but hate the hibernation months for my pride & joy!
