Batteries self discharge and dependent on type & size of the battery determines how long it takes to get to a SOC down to a level that can damage the battery.

Step-By-Step Storage Procedure
Completely charge the battery before storing.
Store the battery in a cool, dry location, protected from the elements.
During storage, monitor the specific gravity (flooded) or voltage. Batteries in storage should be given a boost charge when they show a 70% charge or less. See Table 1 in the Testing Section.
Completely charge the battery before re-activating.
For optimum performance, equalize the batteries (flooded) before putting them back into service. Refer to the Equalizing section for this procedure.
