Why Store the Battery Indoors During Winter

Freezing temperatures can harm mower batteries, leading to reduced lifespan or failure to start. In Indiana and Ohio winters, unheated sheds or outdoor exposure often drop below freezing, risking cracks in the battery casing or electrolyte freezing in lead-acid types. Storing indoors in a cool, dry, non-freezing spot like a basement or heated garage keeps it safe and ready for the next season.
