I wouldn't worry about it. I went away for 6 weeks everything was fine left parked as is when I got back.

If you were really worried about it you could put it on a trickle charger rather than disconnect it. But as Joukowski has said you souldnt have any problems.

Only if you know your battery is in poor condition. My car wasn't started for 6 weeks too. No issues there except the stone chips in the bonnet didn't heal.

I was over sea's for 3 Months and my Battery was fine when I got back. Started first Kick. By the way thats not the standard crap mitsubishi battery. That died after about 1 year.

Starting the car will make it go flat. You have to drive it for a bit so it charges. :)
