I have always understood that a charged battery will not freeze, and a good battery will not lose much of it's charge over the winter.

For the winter, I disconnect the cables on mine even though I have a shut off switch, and I leave them in the boat.

My batteries are 6 years old and in May all I did was reconnect them and the boat started right up. I was prepared to put he charger on but there was no need.
