A few days should not be an issue. If it is, then your 12 volt battery needs replacing anyway.

Removing the terminals on a modern car will most likely wipe your "settings" which you will have to reprogram? IDK. I wouldn't do it.

I would not. I have left it not driven for a month with no issues.

Might want to buy a battery tender so you don't have to disconnect it.

you are fine if just a couple days. even a couple months is fine. i wouldn't start worrying until you get into the half a year range. then at that point i'd just connect it to one of those plug things to keep it from discharging
