Our E350 rig is kept in a heated garage. I have to disconnect the battery or the E350 will significantly drain it after a month. If I waited two months, it would not start our rig. If I waited six months connected, our battery would be dead as a door nail, unlikely able to bring it back to a reliable state.
I'm surprised at what you're doing above if you're talking about your engine starting batttery. Just plug your PC into a 120V garage wall plug, plug a $30 battery maintainer into a coach interior 120V wall socket. Then plug the output of the maintainer (using an adapter instead of it's alligator clips) into the cigarette lighter socket in the cab's dash.
Walla, the engine battery is taken care of 24/7/365 whenever you're storing your PC.
