No, you don't. I used to keep my two four-wheelers locked in the shed out at the ranch. gd rats chewed some of the wiring harness on one which cost me several hundred bucks to get replaced. Hell, I had one of those yellow extension cords on a timer and connected to a couple of trickle chargers that were attached to the four-wheelers; only turned the chargers on [maybe] two hours a day. F'ing rats chewed through the extension cord. Too bad it wasn't during an "ON" period. I'm not out there enough to control the rats so I moved the four-wheelers into town.
