    It’s only going away for a few months, not a few years.
    I disconnect the battery, and that’s it. I’m OBD1 tho, so don’t have to worry about testing the computer in the spring. If I was OBD2 is would likely keep it connected and put a tender on it.

    Actually obd2 is barely affected by losing battery voltage, whereas obd1 needs to relearn after losing battery voltage. Either way it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t disconnect your battery, the only thing that sucks about it is needing to reset your clock.

    Just thinking, I did not do anything with the battery yet and will for sure tomorrow.
    As I am a bit worried about using the Tender hooked to the battery in the car, in the garage where I can’t see what is going on all the time, I will just disconnect this winter to see how things go.
    Is just disconnecting the negative terminal
    good enough or should I take both off.
    And if only the neg. do I need to wrap it with something non conductive? Will it short if the negative cable touches something?
    Thanks again people.

    Negative only, no need to wrap.

    My car has the stock battery from 2005, since I've owned it, per ricks recommendations I disconnect the neg and leave the battery in the car, every year its started first crank when I take it out of storage in the spring, it sometimes sits for weeks without driving in the spring and never had a tender on it once.
