Did you unhook it?

Hooked up my original one would lose a fair amount of charge when we had those really cold spells in Jan-Feb. I leave it hooked up, and I use a trickle charger once a week.

Should I leave it hooked while it dies out, or should I unhook it??? And do I have to take off both cables or just one??

I think I read somewhere that a fully charged battery will last 7 weeks before the cars theif system kills it. If the keys are in the ignition it will last about 1 week or slightly less.
