What about in cold climates? Can you leave wet cell lead-acid batteries outside when the temperature goes below freezing? Or below zero degrees F? What is the freezing point of the diluted sulfuric acid solution in a wet cell battery?
We had a good winter freeze here in Illinois a few years back. Talking 10-20 below 0. I went out to start my jeep and it was slow from thick oil ( I run 20w50) and once it broke that first bit of friction it fired right up. 4 year old battery's your worried about it you can get battery heaters for automotive use. Or if you are diy use one of those heated blankets around the batteries. Runs on 120VAC. If it's UL listed it should have fire retardant in the fabric. It should be known complete discharge, overcharge, too cold or too hot temps will damage the batteries and weaken them.
