Quote:if you drain the batteries and let them sit for awhile without recharging them,My understanding of lead acid batteries is that it is a no-no to leave them in a deeply discharged state for several reasons. It shortens the life as the ions will precipitate out of solution, and the condition is only partially reversible. It shortens their useful life. Hence trickle charging over winter to prevent natural rundown from ultimately kiling the battery completely.
