Making sure the battery is fully charged and disconnected, taken out and placed on a board in the warmest (room temperature) place possible is probably the best. I knew an old lady that had this done to her car battery every winter and the battery lasted for 8+ years. Turns into alot of work when dealing with alot of machines. I have got to the point where I just make sure the battery is fully charged and disconnected (leave it right in the tractor). If I happen to leave it connected for minimal use during the winter, I check it several times during the winter to insure that it is maintaining its charge. The most damage occurs when the battery becomes completely drained and then freezes because of below freezing temperatures. So your #1 concern should be that the battery maintains its charge. However you gaurantee that, is your decision.
