What works best to keep your battery from going dead in the winter?

It seems like in the winter every time I try to start one of my trucks, tractors or combine the battery is dead was wondering if anyone had any experience with battery maintainers or is it best just to put a battery disconnect on?

I take my batteries out of my combine and keep them in a heated store room and charge them somewhere in between uses. Heavy duty disconnects aren't cheap, removing is pretty much free, and if a battery goes dead in my cold shed when I am not paying attention, it is more than likely junk, if it loses its charge in a warm store room it still has a chance.
