Re: [electricboats] How to avoid corrosion of motors, batteries, electric devices, BMS and power lines in cold and humid conditions ?

If you have LFP batteries 100% to zero is fine. But not for LiPo which really does not like 100%. I have checked this out from trusted battery suppliers. For storage, getting to anywhere where self discharge does take them too low is good. Yes I turn off chargers on the last day travelling to get it down to st least 90%. Longest in storage was nine months and it was down to 70% but I cant recall what it was left at. Self discharge for the best systems is mostly bms load

We in Australia dont have the issues you Northerners have with winters of white.
