Years ago when I first started doing the bigger boat thing, that required batteries, I took them out of my boat and stored them indoors during the Winter but after doing that for years, I gave that up and started leaving them in the boat. I check them once a month, if my cranking battery is below 12.5 v, I put the charger on it but with my electric trolling motor batteries, I just keep the plug hanging out the side from my boat cover and plug it in for a day, once a month. Never had a problem using this method. The back of my boat, where my cranking battery is located, I just leave it loosely covered so it's not hard to open it up and put the charger on it, if need be, once a month. This method is a lot easier that removing, then reinstalling them every year.
