I'v left it that garaged for 3 to 4 weeks before during the winter when I'm in Los Angeles. I didn't have time to disconnect it when I did that, and I think that after that, the battery was never the same. I ended up replacing the battery about 8 months later.

batteries deteriorate faster when left idle for long periods of time. i left my other car idle for 1 month before i started it again. battery was still connected. battery wouldnt hold a charge that long at start up... but once u drive it around again... it regains its charge capacity. i wouldnt worry about it too much if you left it connected.
