Won't be driving my G for 2 weeks, will my battery be okay?

I'll be gone for 2 weeks. Should I disconnect my battery or leave it? I've heard that batteries drain over time if you don't run your car for a while...

Two weeks is nothing to a battery don't worry about it. They do drain over time but that should be a month or more. One tip is to not set a battery on concrete that will kill them.

Battery should be fine for two weeks. No worries. If you have a garage, I would put it on a trickle charger anyway.
