Question

How can I keep a car battery charged up during the winter when it’s removed from the vehicle?
It’s actually on a motor home which will be put into storage and I usually remove the battery and charge it in my shed every couple of weeks or so with a charger.
However if things go to plan, I’m hoping to escape to some warmer climes for a couple of months and I was thinking of either using a remote switch, either on a timer or internet controlled, or using a solar powered trickle charger.
If I leave a battery charger connected to the battery, I’m worried that there will be some leakage across the diodes in the charger which will allow the battery to gradually go flat, is this likely?
I guess the solar trickle charger would be the best option, but since that would have to be on the shed roof, there’s a risk of it getting stolen.
