Disconnecting the battery - problems?

If I disconnect the battery are there any potential problems or issues? Like losing radio code, ECU reset, window settings, rear wheels falling off...?
Thanks

Shouldn't have any problems I have disconnected my battery plenty of times and the stereo has never needed the code to be enterd.

You may have to re-do your windows as well, make them go all the way down then all the way back up.

Thanks all. As all I want to do at present is to make sure the battery terminals are clean and earth lead is making making good contact. I'll connect a second battery through the power outlet.
