Storing laptop batteries?

When storing spare laptop batteries. Is it better to store them empty or fully charged? (For like 2-6 months).

Hi hanslysg, all batteries have a shelf life and in-use life; can’t avoid that.
I second John H. and his recommendation. Definitely store the battery topped up. The battery actually came to you in your brand new laptop with some charge in it. Zeroing out modern NiMh batteries is a risky business and not recommended at all. Throwing it in the fridge (not the freezer!) will help in slowing down the chemical reactions inside the battery. Good Luck1
