Are you changing the batter or just doing some other work to the car where it needs to be disconnected? If it's the latter, just disconnect the negative terminal. Should take less than 30 seconds. Also, if its in the trunk, but sure to remember to keep the trunk open! I usually put a towel over the trunk latch so I don't forget.

+1 on disconnecting the negative terminal.

Use a 10mm socket wrench to loosen the bolt on the negative terminal then just pull up. the bolt doesn't completely come out
