AGM  - sealed type batteries are perfect for non- maintenance individuals and prolonged non usage periods as long as the bank does get a semi regular recharge.

Hey Wrenchers,

 

A friend wants a very small battery set up at hunting cabin (like under 1kW). It will only be used in the warmer months. I'm wondering what you all recommend for the batteries over the winter. I assume the ideal situation would be that they would be disconnected and brought somewhere warm for the winter (the cabin will be subject to below freezing temps)??

 

So long as they go into the colder months with a full charge is it alright to leave them hooked up? I don't think the friend will be savvy enough to disconnect/connect them every year and I don't feel like having to go out there every season for them.

 

Thanks for any thoughts.

Adam
