Not for winter storage, but I have just had another reconditioned 6m sea container put next to the workshop for a couple of bikes that don't get ridden and clear a bit of space. They also make a fairly decent hard lock up with only minimal work.

Dunno about the Optimate, but the Deltran(?) Battery Tender is an always on device maintaining the battery at float. They do a fine job of keeping batteries in good health. Winter riders can also benefit from tickling the battery overnight to keep it warm. It'll make the cold starts a lot easier and easier on the battery.
