I have a Murray electric start lawnmower. I know that I am supposed
to unplug the cable during the winter months.

Is it safe to leave the battery, unplugged, in the mower which is
stored in the shed, or is it best to store the battery inside where
it is warmer? ...

I don't keep it charged, them it would be better where it doesn't get
terribly cold...when battery discharges the electrolyte concentration
goes down and it's possible to freeze one if it is really cold. That
can damage plates and shorten life...if it's not too much trouble
either get a trickle charger or occasionally go plug the charger in
to keep a charge on it and it would be fine.

Not keeping it charged is going to damage it.
