I jumper a little 9v battery to the cables before
I loosen & remove the cables so nothing is lost.

You will lose nothing when you remove and replace the car battery. The only "recovery" that must be done is to re-index the windows. All of your settings, choices, selections, radio stations, NAV favorites are retained.
