Disconnect batteries while plugged in?

[shrubshaker]

Good morning! Noob question and I'm sure the answer is in the forums somewhere but not finding it.

Should I disconnect my batteries while plugged into shore power? We'll be plugged in for the winter months so I want to be sure I won't cause any damage to the batteries. I've got four 100ah LiFepo4 batteries.

When you say winter months how cold are we talking?

Your LFP won't charge below freezing and very cold weather can damage the case and internal plastic parts.

You may want to remove them for storage in a warmer location.

Generally lows of mid-teens and highs of about 40 degrees coming in December. I'll pull them and store them, I had forgotten about the temperature issue with LFP's.

Aside from that, no issues leaving the batteries connected while plugged in if there isn't a temperature?

As long as they are not getting below freezing you can leave them plugged in.

As long as it doesn't get below freezing no problem leaving them plugged in that I am aware of.
