I plan to leave my car (cavalier 2001) on the driveway for 6 months. I
am thinking of taking the battery out and into the house to hook up to
a battery charger.
Is it OK to leave the car electronics without power for so long?

Thanks,

The electronics will be just fine.
I would take out the battery and put it out in the back yard.
Putting it on trickle for 6 months will probably destroy it.
If it won't charge up 6 months later, then buy a new one.
