Winter storage on our 2003 E500

Fixing to head to Florida for the winter & not taking our car this time, should I disconnect the 2 batteries, put a trickle charger on main, or another combo?
Any input on battery tender or any other storage tips would be greatly appreciated.

I will be using my CTEK MUS 4.3 Polar. It can be left permanently connected and also designed for very low temperature use where both power and output cords can sustain very low temperatures; besides it has two output levels 0.8A for small batteries and up to 4.3A for vehicle batteries.

Thanks. Do you disconnect battery or not?
