Question 1.
If i take the battery out apparently it can cause harm to the car (resets throttle/gear settings), has ANYONE experienced this? If so, what happened?

Question 2.
If I leave the battery in for 4-5 months without starting the car will it really be that harmful? Wont it recharge itself when I start up again in the spring? The storage is not heated either......
