I winter my 2003 38 in the water, Long Island NY, where we have severe winters and leave the batteries in the boat w/charger on.. I've done it this way for the last 15 years and haven't had any issues with the batteries. As a mater of fact the batteries are GEL batteries which lasted 17 years before I changed them (they were the original ones & were starting to show there age). As a note ensure your charger is preforming correctly or you may experience a problem as a result.. So far my Charles charger is working correctly... M2C
