After deciding to Sorn Oliver and disconnect the battery after giving it a good trickle charge I presume leaving it disconnected wont harm any of the electrics.

It will be fine, my mini sits with its battery disconnected most of the year. I do worry that the 5as immobiliser one day won’t re-sync but it’s been ok up until now, touch wood. Just make sure it’s fully charged when you come to restart
