Removing battery for storage Is it a problem to remove the battery from a car for a long period of time (3+ months)? I have heard that it can mess up the computer on some cars, but I kind of doubt thought. Any thoughts?
no, it's fine. you can even buy a battery tender, and leave the battery in. if you're letting the car sit that long, there are several things you should do, for example - fill the tank up and put some Stabil in it. If you search, there are other recommendations on this board.

Yea I am good with everything else I should do storage-wise, I was just wondering if battery removal can have a negative effect on the computer/electronics. Thanks for the re-assurance Pat.
Are there any higher-end cars that could get messed up by leaving a battery removed?

3 months isn't really anything to worry about for the Gas..
My car will be in Storage with about a 3/4 Tank in it for 7 months, I didn't get the chance to put any Stable in it, but the Battery is out, the PCM disconnected, and setup for storage.

There are some most come down to the satellite based equipt high end cars. There are others that have a special relearn after any power is lost.
Some of which may require a scan tool to reset.
But they all vary so much it's a model, year, make thing to be sure the affects of no power to the car.
