Self-discharge for a flooded battery is 0.7% to 1% per day. For an AGM is is 0.4% per month. So an AGM will last all winter id disconnected from all drains. On my coach the parasitic battery drain is 0.2 amps. With a 205 ah flooded battery capacity, the drain is 144 ah plus the self-discharge equals a flat battery and up north a couple frozen batteries. Fortunately my village offers 40 foot parking spot a 50 amp pedestal for 40 a month.
