Also , from everything that I have learned about winter storage, it is NOT a good idea to start it occasionally.
I personally do not do the trickle charger route since I like to cover my car for the winter , but instead I do a negative terminal disconnect at the battery in the trunk so that there is absolutely no drain on the battery.Also my garage stays kind of warm in the winter about 6-7 deg. C.
IMO,I do believe that with storage you will not get the same lifespan out of the battery as you would in a DD
NEVER DO AN OCCASIONAL START UP, DISCONNECT AND LET IT SLEEP FOR THE WINTER. DID IT ON MINE FOR 4YRS AND NO PROBLEM ON START UP.
