If you want a general cut-off point, I'd suggest 7 weeks (providing your battery is in reasonably good condition).
That might be true for your car.
Generally, DON'T DISCONNECT THE BATTERY! pdhenry is correct! 1. You don't save a lot when you disconnect. 2. Your car may not run properly or not at all after you re-connect the battery.
