TA,
Maybe my paranoia level is much lower than yours: I leave a car, attached to a Batt Tender w/appliance timer in line, and three motorcycles,
(not attached), for 5 months on end. Have been doing this for 5 seasons: the car batt is always fresh and the m'cycle batts come "back" with
a couple days of slow charging. Never a problem.

Yes, a mouse could bump the Batt Tender cables attached to the car battery; yes, a St Elmo's Fire could roll throw the garage while we are gone;
yes, crap happens, but I don't give it/my battery(s) situ a 2nd thought.

I had a little trouble understanding your process, but I hope you disconnect the neg terminal first, before fiddling with the pos cable.

Everyone has a different bag, but why disconnect your batt(s), for a couple of weeks?
GL, mD
