I will be deploying for approx 1.5 years starting next month. I do not want to run a trickle charge on my 2007 C6 for that long. Is it ok to simply disconnect the battery? Will everything work when I hook back up again? Do I need codes etc?

Thanks for your help,
Matt

I think the only things you will need to do are, re-index the windows and reset the radio pre sets.

Put some stabil in the tank and circulate to real the injectors.Remove the battery and place the battery on a thick piece of wood and keep indoors.

Thanks for your service, stay safe and give em hell.

Agree with all the above plus do an oil change just before you put it away with new filter. And, assuming you're in a very rodent-free storage, that would be good. If not, there are things to be done to hopefully prevent them from doing their "job" on your car.
