I accidentally wound up with an extra set of NiMH batteries and it's
going to be quite a long time before the first set goes South and I need
the second - as in 1-2 years at least.

How would you store that extra set so as to maximize it's
life/availablity?

Fully-charged ?

As they came in the box ?

Something else ?....

Or just bite the bullet and figure on them not surviving that long on
the shelf ?
