a quick question about storing my SS My 2002 has been resting in my garage for the last couple of months. I keep a trickle charger on the battery to keep it fully charged. The other day a neighbor said I would be better off disconnecting the battery and storing it inside the house rather than constantly recharging it. My question is would it harm the computers being without power for a few months? What do you guys think would be the correct thing to do? 
Depends, a float charger (like battery tender) is perfect for long term storage. There are components which measure the charge and will not over charge. A traditional trickle charger pumps a constant amount of current into the battery regardless of how charged it is. Therefore if you have a float charger you're fine. If you have a trickle charger replace it!

It's better not to have current flowing through the system while it's being stored.
