With an intelligent charger it would be fine.
A relatively cheap one from Aldi or Lidl (£12.99 ish when they have them in) is just the job. They monitor the battery volts and top up as required to keep it healthy and ready for action.

Many thanks. Would the battery have to be disconnected from the car, or can I leave it as is?

Personally I leave as is, because the chargers are "smart" and are designed with modern "electronics laden" vehicles in mind.
If you look at Ctek (for instance) they have a comfort connector that allows you to charge through a plug-in cable (with traffic lights to tell you before you connect, what the state of your battery was/is).
Many of the folks on here utilise Anderson or other polarised connectors to make charging a possibility without even opening the bonnet or unlocking the car (I am one of them
).

Crispy batter? Probably.
Soggy uncooked batter? No no no!
It'll get in the electrics and short it out.

Are you worried about a power cut happening and you not noticing? Don't you have a clock on your cooker, microwave, even a digital alarm clock?

Or are you talking about the power cut happening while you arre away from the vehicle's premises for a longish time, like a week?
The latter would be an annoyance for sure, I only mention it as something so consider. I don't have it connected all the time as I'm still working so my daily is fine. It only bothers me if i'm charging a battery in my garage and I want to turn it on in the morning (I dont like leaving on overnight as my garage is powered by an extension lead) so I cant just flick the switch indoors
