Re: [DucatiST] Hibernating batteries over Winter

I will have to interject my big nose into this thread at the risk of
singing my nomex underwear. I agree with everything you said Mark except
for the floor part. It depends on the floor. If it's a wood floor, no
problem, if it's a concrete floor then the battery will discharge
rapidly. Oh not in 5 minutes but over several days. I've seen it happen
and it's happened to me.
