Battery question

I'll be removing the battery in my 17 Z06 for storage (no electricity in the storage garage), will bring it home and put a tender on it for the Winter. Will 6 months without power have any effect on the car? I'm assuming no as I used to do this with my C5 and never had any problems.

Thank!

No issues,but you will have to re index your windows when you install the battery in the spring, other than that, you should be good to go.

Make sure that the key works to open your hatch / trunk before pulling the battery!

Leave the driver's side window down a little since without battery power it will not drop when the door is opened and you may damage the weatherstrip or window when opening it.
