Battery Question

[los8383]

I recently bought a newer, better battery. How do I store my 650 mah batteries as far as charging. I, of course, want to keep the batteries on hand just in case something goes wrong with my new batteries. Do the old ones need to be fully charged and then stored, completely drained and then stored, or just store them as is? I just don't want them to be useless if the unforseen problem exists. Not sure if there is a proper way of doing it or if it is really a problem either way. Thanks for any insight!

Ive read if you store them,make sure they dont completely drain out of power,it decreases life span,also store then so they dont hit each other.

Recharge empty batteries ( resting voltage ~3.6V ) as soon as possible. Leaving LiIon batteries in discharged state will incur irreversible damage ( capacity / cycle loss );
Do not short circuit ( will release tremendous current );

Thank you for your help. I know it wasn't the most interesting question to answer but wanted to make sure that they would be operational if/when they are needed
