Post Post-Season Battery Storage Practices

So now that the season has come to a close, what are people doing with their batteries? Team 1717, as well as many others I'd assume, is still needing to use a few batteries for demonstrations, test purposes, etc., but the bulk of our batteries do not need to be used.

What is the best practice for maximizing battery life? Should we pick two or three batteries for our demonstrations, and set the others aside OR should we be continually rotating through all of our batteries? If we set batteries aside, should we keep them on a trickle charger, let them discharge, or what?
