How to preserve your camper battery during winter storage
Original source: motorpasion.com

During long winter storage, the auxiliary batteries in camper vans and motorhomes can discharge due to cold and parasitic loads. Different battery types—lead-acid, AGM, and lithium LiFePO₄—require distinct preservation methods: a full charge and a maintainer for the first two, and a 50–70% charge with complete disconnection for the latter. The key measure is physically isolating the battery from all loads, including alarms and solar charge controllers.
