Keeping boat outside in the cold??

So far this winter the weather where I live in TN has not gotten down much below freezing..however, thursday night the forcast is 5 degrees!

I keep the boat plugged up to keep a charge on the batteries, but I am still worried about them when it is that cold! Does it affect their life or anything?

I don't have the luxury of keeping the boat in a garage, and any day midwinter that hits 50 or above im taking it out on the water anyway. I do tilt the motor down to drain all water while it is sitting, and it is covered of course...

Should I be worrying about the batteries?
