Uhaul Tow Dolly - do I disconnect the battery?

Getting ready to haul my R5x cross country dolly towing it behind a uhaul. Should I disconnect the battery before towing it?

Reading some threads that indicate that the rear wheels moving turns the car on.

I have towed several mini cooper's R56s using a tow dolly and never disconnected the battery.
