Default Winter Storage

I live in the northeast so its just about that time. What are your opinions on car bags? I will store it in a detached garage. Should I be concerned about rodents finding a home? Battery going dead? What can that do to the electronics? Its a 04 convertible and its still a baby to me. I appreciate any advice. Thanks.........

I store mine in a heated garage from Nov to April and I'm concerned about field mice. I cover the exhaust tips with zip lock bags and put moth ***** in the engine bay. I use a float charger to keep the battery perfect and change the oil just before storage. Use StaBil and cover with a car cover. I've never used a dessicant in the interior because humidity isn't a problem but you can find cheap dessicants at ACE hardware. I park on Tire Cradles.
