Simply put, No! Disconnecting the battery or installing a cut-off switch at the battery is the only way to eliminate draw down (due to remote circuit boards and other phantom loads). I installed a marine type isolator switch and I leave my batteries in all winter after fulling charging them. I do go to the rig monthly to "exercise" the generator and top off the batteries though. Never had a problem in the Spring with this method.
