Default Battery Disconnect

Near where I live they are having a car display on the 4th of July inside a mall. One of the requirements is to remove your battery cable for 8 hours. I have always been told that this could be harmful. Is this correct and I should just forget it or will it be OK:.
Thanks

If that were true, thousands of us who disconnect our batteries in the winter time, would be in big trouble.

The only thing I noticed when the battery is disconnected was that I had to reset my clock.

Just make note of your radio lock code (if you have one) and reset your clock when you're done.

Won't "hurt" a thing and the Fire Marshal will be your friend.
