batteries

The best storage method I know of is to disconnect the load from the batteries
and connect a small smart charger (or maybe chargers in your case) to the
batteries. The charger(s) can be 120V powered or solar powered - doesn't matter.
Just a very few amps (2-5) and the action of the smart charge controller will
keep your batteries in a condition that will make you smile when you pick up the
rig.

If there is no possibility of 120v or solar input, then disconnect the
batteries, clean the battery tops, blow it dry and pick up the rig as soon as
possible. Its good if the batteries show a full charge (12.8 volts resting)
when you park it.
