Default Cant keep a battery alive!

Hey yall, looking for some simple help here. In the past two years I have exhauseted three batterys. I dont get to ride much so the quad sits for some long periods of time out in the New England temperatures that often dip below zero.

Two batterys have frozen on me, can I get those back to life at all???

One battery just plain quit on me, was replaced at no cost to me.

Any suggestions on keeping my batteries alive will be appreciated greatly.

If you have electric where your quad is stored, hook it up to a battery tender, not a battery charger. If no electric where quad is , bring battery home and hook it to a battery tender.

Unless you have heated storage/garage, bring the battery in the house--do not leave it in the quad unless you have a battery tender and warmer. New England winter temps will kill the battery if you don't, at least, connect a battery tender.
