Yes, disconnecting the battery does not harm the car. Mine is disconnected 5-6 mos. every year for the past 10 yrs. with no ill effects. I remove it from the car and sit it on my bench on a tender (garage is semi-heated but above freezing and stays 35-40 degrees all winter). Spring startup takes the DME 1 drive cycle to re-adapt.
