How often should I start my bike?

I'm not sure of the possibility of an explosion, but a charging battery will emit carbon monoxide. I found this out years ago when I had my trolling motor charging in my basement and it set off the detector and the fire department showed up..

The charging of lead-acid batteries can be hazardous. However, many workers may not see it that way since it is such a common activity in many workplaces. The two primary risks are from hydrogen gas formed when the battery is being charged and the sulfuric acid in the battery fluid.

Personally, my bike sits all winter with all the necessary preventative measures and does not move till spring....
