Is there any fire risk in hooking up a trickle charger (unsupervised) for this length of time?
Should I take out the batteries to reduce risk?
Would just unplugging the leads (without trickle-charger) keep them alive for this length of time?
Any thoughts?

For a period of a few months I remove the batteries, store them somewhere away from the cars, and connect them to a battery tender. It's safer and gives me an opportunity to clean the battery area in the car with bi-carb and clean the terminals.
