I leave my wet cell batteries untended all winter. For me, winter means November through January. I just make sure they are fully charged.

I don't get severe cold. A normal overnight low is probably about 40, and the TM is in the garage. I have had below freezing temps on one occasion for a few days around 1991.

I have an external battery disconnect switch that I added. So there is no drain on the batteries in storage other than internal leakage. I don't think there is all that much leakage in three months of storage.
