Thats what i do and have done with my vette(s) for the last 10 years, as well as my Harley, and even JD lawn tractor. Better option i feel, then removing the battery.

I left mine in all winter last year I didnt know I was supposed to take it out I did start it once in a while I have never had a problem up to this point, should I put a trickle charger on it or just leave it alone?
