Anyway my car sits a lot these days. My battery is flat a lot. Someone told me (used car dealer) in passing if you disconnect the negative on the battery it won't discharge so fast.

Is this true?
Yes it helps.
But...
An inexpensive battery tender is a better way to go. I use a solar one on my boat which can sit without being started for weeks at a time. It works very, very well.


Like this but an older style:
