Winter Storage Battery?
Unfortunately, winter is coming and so is storage for my Vette.
I need to change where I'm storing it and there won't be any power. Is there a power generator that's good for connecting to the battery trickle charger to run for 4-6 months? Thanks in advance for your help

Or take the battery out entirely and take it home put it on a maintainer.

Moved to SC 30 years ago from CT, prior NE Ohio, Prior NJ! No question for my wife and I when we had to pick a place to retire-we stayed in SC. Love it! Toured Honda in Timmonsville SC today who are adding 250 jobs expanding their ATV production for the world-lots of good jobs. Recently toured Wyman Gorden in Dillon SC where they built a new very large facility machining and heat treating jet engine and ground power turbine parts. Again good paying jobs. Boeing is continually adding jobs in the Charleston area.

Virginia Beach stays nice for most of the year. Sometimes it is really crappy in January and February but rarely so bad you cant drive some in the winter. Of course there are no plows or salt shakers so that build up of nasty stuff like they have in The Great White North.so road nasty stuff generally doesnt exist. Lived in the north a long time ago. Moved south because I didnt like winters ruining my cars. Pretty pathetic, but true.
