I have had good luck with using the small
"battery maintainers" to keep the batteries up
over long periods of nonuse. If there is
electricity to the building where the tractors are
stored I don't take the batteries out of the
tractors, but if there is no electricity I remove
the batteries to a building where I can keep
them charged. The maintainers are often
available from Harbor Tools for under $10. A
better grade from local Fleet Farm / Farm &
Fleet for about $17. Other models are more.
I have had 2 tractors on one meter for over 6
months and they only used 1 kw of electricity -
about 8¢ around here.
