Default c4 battery question

I have a 96 ce and was wondering if I should just take battery out of car and hook it to a tender for the winter as car will be in unheated garage for the winter here in Ohio. Will leaving car without battery power during winter cause any problems? I am sure you all know there is very limited space around battey so hooking up tender while still in car is possible but just cramped for room. Opinions and suggestions appreciated.

Not saying this is the *right* way to do it, but here's what I did (and it's completely reversible). I bought a side mount battery disconnect switch, and a pair of battery screws with extensions on them for accessories. When the disconnect is off, the accessory extensions are still active... so I hooked a solar tender to them.
