I leave mine unlocked also. The only thing I have to do is reteach the key fobs, easy, just hold down the lock & unlock buttons at the same time until the horn beeps (about 10 sec.)

Its is good you were able to get your battery replaced under warranty. Any battery that is drained and subject to this cold weather we are having in the North East and other areas of the country will freeze as a discharged batteries acid or electrolite will turn to water. Once it freezes 95% of the time there will be damaged plates inside of the battery. The trick is to keep a Battery Tender hooked up to your car battery at all times if your car isn't driven much. Cheap insurance. I have tenders on all of my collector cars during the off season. Trust me I learned the hard way over the years. One thing you don't want to do is try to recharge a frozen battery. Take the caps off to look inside before you do anything. If you see ice don't attempt to charge it. Definitely a no, no. What you could try and if you are lucky you maybe able to save your battery is to bring the battery inside the house where it is warm and let it thaw out and then hook it up to a battery charger. If it takes the charge you may of saved it. Doesn't happen all the time but I have done it. Lost a heck of alot more batteries over the years then I saved I have to tell you.

As someone else mentioned here in a earlier post todays batteries can be stored on a concrete floor without hurting it based on how batteries are made today. Many years ago that wasn't the case.

I am thinking about just removing the battery and bringing it inside, since i wont be using the vert, or is that a bad idea?

There is no problem with doing that but I would still use a tender on the battery even out of the car.
