(User Info)

the cells will need to be fully charged before draining, then rinse well with
distilled water, and redrain.

presumably they will then store well.

i seem to remember purging them with nitrogen, and plugging the cells to keep out air, but don't quote me on it.

the old books don't mention nitrogen or any other gas purging of air, so either i am wrong or it is a more recent thing that is done to maybe increase shelf life.
