I sure hope not; I'm not taking all of mine in and out like that. I've got 2 big ones in golf carts and 3 small ones in the boat, so that would be too big of a job. I had the boat batteries through last winter and I can't tell that it hurt them. The only thing I have read about special care for them in cold weather is that they don't need to be charged while it's way below freezing. I've never had to do this anyway, but that might be a concern for some folks. I charge mine as soon as I get back from a trip and it's always above freezing then. If it wasn't, I wouldn't be fishing.

I just have the one and scope is all I have hooked to it so that’s why I pulled it off It sure can't hurt anything to do that. I don't think any sort of battery does as well in cold weather as warm weather. The range on my carts is noticeably less when cold, and that's with lithium or lead acid.

I have a 36v Epoch LiFePO4 battery that has a built in heater so it can operate in lower temps. If you leave it out in the cold consistently, the heater will draw on the battery. Not a problem for me since I store my boat in a garage, but you may want to check if yours has the heating mats. Will do

I keep (kept) my boat in my basement since new in 2019. I had to put it under the barn this winter to make room for my kids stuff, they are building a new house. My 5 year old lead acid batteries will probably die now. I have one lithium for my front units I can pull easy enough & bring in.

I've got two 36 volt for my trolling and one 12 volt for my liveacope I'm not going to do anything special with them. Just not charge them when it's below freezing
We will burn that bridge when we get there
