Car storage?

When I put my 2013 GT up for the winter the car will be going into a large cold storage area (actually it's a large high school gymnasium no longer in use) anyway I will have no power to put the battery on a tender there so should I remove the batt and put it on a tender at home? Just leave it in the car? Is it bad for the car in any way to remove the battery meaning is there anything in the Mustang that requires slight power to work properly? Thanks for the advice and I'm sorry if this is not the right place to post this topic I was not sure where to place it.

Took my battery out last winter. Out from sometime in November until sometime in February or March. Only lost my radio pre sets. It remembered my garage door opener. All the My Color settings... Everything...

Take it home don't put it on the floor and tender it. It will be fine. Wow glad to hear that the settings don't change. Ford sprung for E-Proms instead of Ram...

Wow that is surprising.
