I'm uncomfortable leaving maintainers connected full time on cold storage vehicles/machines in the winter. I've learned over the years that occasionally checking battery voltages only requires about 24 hr. maintainer usage about once a month to restore voltage on several sealed/wet and Optima batteries.
I would use timers as some have stated if I were away for extended periods of time, or at least store the battery(s) in a warmer location.
