We leave our charger on all winter in the barn. Ours is a smart charger so it will cut down as the batteries charge. Make sure if they are flooded that they are full with water.

Just to be on the safe side, I'd check the water first if they are flooded.

Charging in Spring
Check that all battery connections are clean and tight. Test each battery using a load tester and insure battery meets specs for load and voltage.
Then run charge system per normal procedure. I had the exact same boat that used a Xantrex charger with a remote status panel mounted next to the main circuit breaker panel. Having that in view at all times was great to have.
It connects to the charger with a phone style cable.

Some chargers are adjustable , if yours is, reducing the float setting to 13.2 should get you thru the winter without needing to visit to add water.
