Once you finish your cycling and testing, you can safely let the battery sit for a few months provided you charge it prior to its' first use. There is little need to periodically charge the pack if it is left sitting.
After an extended sit of a freshly cycled and balanced pack, we recommend a full charge (max 18 hours - 12 is likely more than enough) followed by
an additional six hours of trickling after a 24 hour rest period.
