As rheavn stated a Flooded Lead Acid Battery can Freeze if discharged...then when any charge is applied it could explode. Now if you have AGM Batteries, that type should not have the same issues according to the seminar that I attended and put on by Interstate Batteries. If you are storing where there is no electricity I would agree with pulling the Batteries and storing them where you can take care of them. (should be a real bear with 8D batteries!)
I turn all of the Batteries off on our coach when not in use although our situation is reversed, I store ours in the summer and move into it in the winter months to get out of the snow. The worst job after turning the batteries back on is that I need to reset the clocks since my vintage Newell doesn't require any power when idle.
