Default Battery during storage

will be storing GT for 4-5 months. Should I leave battery connected and hook up battery tender or disconnect battery?

I'm sure either is fine. Or as option #3, leave the battery hooked up w/o tender and charge or jump when it's time to remove from hibernation.

Being you're from SoCAl I guess you've never seen an uncharged battry after a stretch of 20 below weather. It has to be on a charger.

Default charge it

leave it in the car, put a Battery Tender Plus on it 24- 7.around $45. put some sta-bil in the gas. I try to start my cars once a month in winter for 10 minutes.
