To make them last longer store them inside. If its nesseary to leave them in the boat from lack of space them by all means hook a floating trickle charger up to them. Even inside I keep mine charged up about every thirty days,

so if they are charged they wont freeze/emoScratch

Winterize your boat? Good God man, we're in the middle of global warming. Use that puppy this Winter.

If you bring them inside then don't store them directly on a concrete floor. I've heard that it is not good for the lifespan. Put a couple of 2x4's or something under them and a trickle charger is a really good idea too.

The crappie, bluegill, spots and smallmouth will bite all winter and the big blues will do good up into early Jan. Might as well go ahead and use it this winter.emoThumbsup

To answer your original question Breeze, your batteries will not freeze if left outside. They will deteriorate if they are not on a maintenance charger whether they are in or out of your boat.
