Tips:
It is recommended to store any items with exposed connectors/plugs indoors during winter to protect them from harsh weather conditions.
If the item must remain outdoors, cover the exposed connectors/plugs with protective film or plastic bags. This helps prevent moisture intrusion from rain or snow.
If possible, elevate the item slightly off the ground. This reduces the risk of water or snow accumulation around the exposed connectors/plugs.
