Best way to maintain a number of battery's
We have a total of 7 (seven) 12V battery's- boat lift, boats.
What is the best way to keep these over the winter - They will be warm and dry.
Trickle chargers for each?
Put each on a charger for a week and alternate?
Is there anyway to use a trickle charger and connect more than one battery?
Thanks in advance-- and think spring

battery tender makes a bunch of multi’s even a 10 bank, but those get expensive. I’d recommend getting a tender like I posted or getting a single and alternating them. They shut off when fully charged and never damage batteries. I leave my car on one all year long.

I have 3 batteries in my boat which stays in a heated 45-50* garage.
I charge them maybe 2-3 times over the winter lay up.
I just charge 1 at a time at 10 amps and they get fully charged in a few hours.

I store mine in cold garage and alternate small tenders across them all.
Few days out of each 3 weeks - month.
As long as they don't go dead and freeze, cold temps actually slow discharge.
