    Battery Move

    I am relocating and will need to put my house inverter and batteries in storage for about 6 months. What is the best way to do this with least harm to the 4 L16 Trojan batteries? The system will be in a storage unit without electricity so won't be able to trickle charge.

    Flooded LA batteries need monthly recharging. The colder you store them, the slower they bleed themselves down. They must be stored fully charged
    6 months at room temp would pretty much ruin them. 6 months at -5F they would likely be fine.

      Ok thanks.
      I will have to use my generator to charge them monthly.
