I don't mind to buy a tender and remove the battery over winter. But i dont want to have to every week.
I'm in NY like you and have been on the Shorai with KC Machine bracket since April 2015. Car was outside all winter and ironically not driven on weekends, only during the week and never used a tender. Worst thing that ever happened was it took 3-4 cranks for the car to start after an excessively cold night/weekend of not being used but always fired up. CSG Mike suggested turning on the radio and some things to put draw on the battery first to warm it up.
Never gave me a single problem and would do it again in a heartbeat. Saved 23lbs up high in the engine bay too.
