I do this a lot since I often have to leave town for weeks or even a month. This might be a "problem" in theory, but I've had no problems. If my ECU has to learn anything, it does it unobtrusively and shows no symptoms of any kind. I reconnect the battery, reset the clock, fire her up and drive away. Absolutely no issues at all !
