74,000 miles would be more like 119, 000 km.

Regardless, constantly disconnecting the battery is not a good idea on any modern car.

I have been removing the battery for the winter and charging it at home every couple of months because the car is stored in an unheated building. I am ultra conscious about leaving unattended things plugged in throughout the winter, so I don't want a trickle charger on it. I don't want to risk burning my airplane and hangar down just to be kind to a $150 battery in my Boxster. Should I not be removing my battery? This practice seems to be working well for my battery as it is 7 years old and still strong.
