Battery blanket

I have two lithium batteries for my Caravel in the OEM front metal box. Wondering how to properly maintain them this winter in Colorado while stored. I heard I just need a battery blanket around them - is this true and if so, any suggestions?

I am in Denver area and in covered canopy storage. I have a 110 power connected to it all the time.

Thanks in advance.

Seeing how much they cost, I would remove them and bring them in the heated or attached garage or house

On the NextGen site it says to avoid less than 32F or more than 80F.

Battle Born has an article that says just disconnect the cable but that -15F and lower can crack the case.

Dakota says to store their lithium batteries inside between 40F and 95F.

I would go to the manufacturer's site and follow their recommendations so you don't void the warranty.
