However you might consider getting a little trickle charger and keep it connected to the car in storage for the winter. That is how I have my bike stored. Works great, always a full charge.

Dead batteries release hydrogen, so by connecting the negative cable to the terminal on the dead battery you risk an explosion if there is an electrical arc between the positive and negative terminals. To be safe you want to put the ground wire as far as possible away from the positive terminal of the dead battery.
