Default Battery and short term storage

Hello,
I am seeking advice from fellow members,
I am traveling for 10 weeks, my LC will be stored in the garage during that time. I intend to disconnect the negative battery terminal in the trunk.
I don't intend to connect to battery maintainer or remove the battery from the car.
Is there anything I am missing or should be aware of when I am back and want to restart the car again.

I see nothing wrong with simply removing the negative terminal when storing a car. A battery will hold a charge for at least a years as long as it is in moderate temperatures.

You’ll lose your settings though. I’d just get a battery tender and plug it in. It’s painless and easy

I am in Nevada, so we are in the 70's now, as for using a battery tender, unfortunately it is not possible where the car will be parked unless I remove the battery all together and move it to a different location which I won't consider.

Then remove the negative terminal and forget out it. Ya you lose some settings that part sucks.
