I have never needed to do that with my 1985 Carrera.

It really messes up the traction control, power steering, tire pressure monitoring system, backup cameras, and ABS computers when I do.

A buddy has an older Miata. If he is working on it and has to disconnect the battery he says that it drives like crap for a day or two before the computer relearns his driving habits.
