As for dead batteries, if you plan to own a Porsche, prepare to get very familiar with that concept. They're notorious for killing their batteries from sitting because of how much crap stays running and drawing power while the car is shut down. Sometimes it can happen in 2 months, sometimes 2 weeks, sometimes 2 days. And it goes "D-E-D" dead. So yeah, I throw mine on the maintainer all winter, and during the warmer times of the year where it will see some use, I usually hook it back up if it's been sitting unused for two weeks or more (yes, it happens, because reasons, not because I don't wanna drive it). I learned my lesson early on and keep the car battery topped up after a few instances of coming out to a totally dead battery. I wouldn't want to take a chance on whether or not said battery is frozen when I find it dead, but that's just me.
