Personally I dont think anything will happen if you leave it on.

Read the manual. It explains the do's and don't's about storage. Did you NOT read the manual ?

i'm storing my car for like 3 months and didn't disconnect the battery or put it on jacks.

i don't think the battery needs to be disconnected unless it was over 6 months or so, the stuff that's on isn't gonna drain it that fast.

and the tires, i was told it's a good idea to put it on jacks if you don't want flat spots, but i just upped the air a little bit more before storing.
