Storage of battery

Storing in our garage would be just as frigid as leaving it in the trailer.

So?
I take out my battery and put in the garage over the winter on on a battery minder. My storage location does not have power so I can't plug in my battery minder there, which is the main reason why I take out the battery. Previously, I've just left the battery in over the winter without charging, and had a battery sulfinate in the spring. Figure it only takes about 2 minutes more when winterizing, and might save the cost of an $80-90 battery in the spring.
