First off, don't start it; you'll do way more harm than good. Secondly, I do not recommend disconnecting the battery; you'll clear all the DME coding and have to start over next spring (the DME stores all sorts of system ready codes).

Get a battery tender as soon as possible...these cars have strange things happen when the battery gets low, so why risk it for $35 to $50?
