CB Cold Weather Start-Up

[Rocky_imp]

I'm in the camp that removes the battery, takes it in the house, leave the bike sit for the Winter. I 'tend' to the battery every few months. Once it warms up, let rain wash the salt off the road before your take the bike out.

Just the way I operate.

That's the way I do it too with all my bikes except the CB. I have an Optimate pigtail connected to the battery which is easy to access so I leave the battery in place and hook up the charger once a month for 24 hours.
The other batteries are stored in a cool dry place and once a month they are cycled through with the charger for 24 hours.
In all cases the chrger goes into "float mode" very soon indicating that the batteries have lost very little charge.
Come spring, I'm in no hurry to get out there before the road debris has been washed away,
