I remain in the water during the winter months and leave the chargers on full time. Also have small catalytic heaters in the bilge and cabin that are thermostatically controlled. Keep setting at 55. Works great. BTW the boat is a 2003 and I have always kept the charger on all year round. My GEL batteries are, believe it or not, original from the factory. That makes them 17 years old.. Tested them before this winter and they show in excellent condition. Not sure how much longer they will be good and know replacing 6 at one time will be expensive...
