Tips on battery

Hey gang,
My car will be in a 4 day car show in aug. it's in an indoor arena. One of the rules is disconnect the positive battery cable. Anything I should do ahead of time? I know I'll have to Index the windows, and I have a custom sound system. Any other tips?
Thanks

Disconnect the negative post first, connect negative last. Should come alive; windows and some settings will be lost.

Interesting that you're required to remove the "positive" cable. Most recommend to remove
the "negative" cable so as not to have a ground that might short. Just my $.02

Disconnect the battery. When the show is over, re-connect the battery. You will loose audio settings, re-index windows, if you have memory settings, you will loose them also. Other than that, you should be fine.
