Default Battery removed for winter storage?

The storage unit I have does not have electrical outlets, that being said a battery tender cannot be used. I removed the battery as I do not want it to go flat and freeze ruining the battery or worse yet cracking and leaking. My question is when the battery is installed does the car have to go through a relearn process idle, fuel trim, timing etc. if so is there a procedure that needs to be done after installing the battery? Thanks for the help

Yes, just to the idle relearn. When you first turn the key, the AC will be on by default as well. I usually re-program the key fobs too but am not sure this is necessary. Not a big deal, I take mine out every winter.

Think I might have got it. Profile was set to receive PM from administrators or contacts only. Unchecked the box. Sorry about that
