How long can a side by side sit unused?

Get you a NOCO battery charger $30

If it's on a working trickle charger, it won't freeze.

Noco still owes me $400 for ruining 2 batteries when it failed to maintain them and they froze.

That's when they told me about the "safety". And acted like -4* was some crazy low temperature.
Maybe in Florida, but thata nice winter day here.

You don't have a nice garage to keep stuff in? I see you're in alaska, but I'd say if you're at -4, you have bigger issues than a dead battery. Like all the water pipes freezing, but then again maybe they design stuff differently up there.

It gets down to -60*.... it's -10* right now. I haven't taken my winter coat out yet.

Lmao, yall are crazy up there. My jacket comes out when it's 60

Regardless, -4F will be extremely hard on any trickle charger. NOCO's are still about the best out there.

So test your theory and pull the battery cable, see if it starts after its next rest.

I'd find some sort of heavy duty solar panel if it were my ride.

I have had one of these chargers for nearly 4 years, and it has been great. Just ordered two more due to the performance and durability of the unit.

I have it mounted on my large gooseneck trailer, to maintain a 800CCA battery I have for a crane winch and a 9000 lbs winch.

Recently, my daughter had a breakdown, and i decided to take the trailer battery with my just in case, which was good as the battery in her Tahoe was dead down to 9 volts. Anyway, the battery on my trailer with little use, was in perfect order...
