Unless you have a manner to check the voltage of the required 9v battery, leave it disconnected from the device during non use. It would be a shame to believe it's still got 9v and then lose the memory features you're using it to retain.

I've previously used one of those **** type "disconnects" in the top post version. I found the **** didn't always provide enough tension to maintain a tight connection.
After a couple of years in the hot engine bay, the green plastic **** broke off.
These type of solenoid battery disconnect switches offer positive on/off without tools, are easily hidden from prying eyes/hands, allow for power to the memory controls and offer theft prevention...
