Default Winter storage?

We live in Illinois and don't have a climate controlled place to store our cart over the winter. Wondering how the batteries will react to the freezing temperatures and what I can do so they don't get ruined over the winter.

Keep them charged frequently. A fully charged battery has to go well below zero to freeze.

A fully charged battery is good to -70*F.

With winter approaching I want to remind everybody using a windows based system Alt+167 = º as in 99º
Oh and keep your batteries charged up in cold weather

FWIW: Alt+167 works okay as a degree sign, but it is actually the masculine ordinal indicator used in some languages.

Visually, it is a superscript small letter "o", which is an oval shape while the true degree sign is a superscript circle.

Alt+167 = º
Alt+248 = °


IE: 99º vs 99°

Should I leave it on the charger all winter? The charger goes into maintenance mode after charging doesn't it?

For winter storage you need to keep your batteries on a FLOAT charger, this type of charger has output voltage continually and never shut off they just throttle back the amperage...
