I normally leave my battery in the basement or the partially heated garage; up off the concrete. (I've heard mixed reports about how concrete may or may not damage the battery.) However this past year I was planning on another autumn camping trip that didn't happen, so my batter spent the winter inside my trailer. It was still showing a nearly full charge last week when I went down.

I may have been luck in that a fairly new fully charged battery that was partially protected from the elements might be OK, or I may have shortened the lifespan of my battery. Time will tell I suppose.
