Don't forget that disconnecting a car battery for any amount of time is likely to reset the engine computers to their default states - amoung other things this means that the tranmission shift points and diagnostics will need a run-in after the power is re-connected before everything is OK.

If your state uses OBD-II for emissions testing (parts of PA do) you will fail the inspection until the car has been run in following a battery disconnect.
