You either disconnect the battery or leave it connected with a battery tender 
A Battery Disconnect is SIMPLER
You do loose the radio memory and either choice
helps the battery maintain charge 
In either case you are Tending the Battery.
The Disconnect has other handy features in that you can Disconnect the Battery for ZR1 electrical maintenance (Changing out a CHIP for example). Or.....you can Disconnect the Battery and then leave the ignition switch ON and with the Disconnect handy under the hood turn power on to check lights, vacuum pump, fuel pump, and more. And if you want to reset some Aberrant Codes the Disconnect is perfect. Every time the ZR1 sits for a long time my Aberrant Codes are reset.
No Power required to be left on in garage, No extension Cords, No wires to trip over, A theft Safety Feature as the ZR1 is Dead.....lets see.....I think there are more advantages also.
Just thought of another advantage......if you want to tend to your battery out in your driveway or at the curb.....Battery Disconnect is a lot better than stringing together several extension cords
And....the Battery Disconnect sits perfectly with plenty room under the hood and very easy to get to without even raising the hood much more than a few inches.
