[QUOTE="Still Afloat, post: 506105, member: 32426"] Hydrogen is lighter than air. Remember the Zepplin? :) All you need to do is open the compartment holding batteries and chargers and any hydrogen will float away. I wouldn’t recommend keeping LifePO batteries on a charger. They like to be stored about 1/2 discharged. As far as lead acid, AGM, etc. they will self discharge faster when it cold. Better than leaving the onboard charger on trickle all winter, put them on a timer so the charger runs just a few hours per week. Deep cycle batteries don’t like to be trickle charged for long periods. [/QUOTE]
