Default Optima Yellowtop and Storage

I have an Optima Yellowtop in my C6 and I am going to be away for 1.5 months. The C6 will be in my garage and it will be very hot. For this length of time do you think I need to disconnect anything or can I leave it as is? It is a deep cycle battery.

Thanks.

If you don't have a battery tender to keep your charge, I'd just disconnect the negative terminal at the battery. When you come back, just reset your window indexing. A one minute job.

Thanks, guys. Well over 100 degrees. I know it gets hot under the hood, however, the battery is being charged when the car is running and the car isn't running for 1.5 months straight!
