store them for how long??

nimh/nicd ~ I would store them full.

Don't store lipos full, 70-80% is a safe number and check the voltage monthly.

+1. A lot of chargers nowadays will have a storage mode for LiPos too.

Store NiCd's empty, not charged. Get them out every few weeks for a charge/discharge cycle. That will keep them tip-top shape :)
