If this helps.

I installed an onboard battery charger that I always use at the dock (the batt switch is always off at dock too).
For the winter, the switch is off and I plug into my outside garage outlet and trickle charge all winter. Its auto-charge and drops to like 0.5A once charged.

This way I just leave them connected, check the fluid in the spring and I'm good to go. Never sorry about freezing either.

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.
