It is best NOT to store batteries in a heated place!! Remember your chemistry teacher?? You were taught to heat a chemical reaction to speed it up. Batteries are designed to create a chemical reaction between 2 dissimilar metals; keep the battery as cool (cold) as possible to reduce the speed of the self-discharge reaction that is constantly going on. I charge my conventional lead-acid 6 volt batteries (have 6 of them) and put them on a shelf in my unheated garage. It gets down below 0 in the garage at times so the batteries are not discharging much at that temperature. I do run a trickle charger about every 2 months or so letting them charge for 24 hours. The batteries are in great condition for next summer"s activities. Remember: 1. fully charged, 2. clean & dry, 3. cold storage, 4. trickle charge occasionaly.
