Short-term storage: Store the battery in a dry place with no corrosive gases and a wet temperature between -20℃-35℃, higher or lower temperature will cause the metal parts of the battery to rust or the battery to leak.
Long-term storage: As long-term storage will cause the battery activity passivation and accelerate the self-discharge rate, the ambient temperature should preferably be between 10℃-30℃, in addition, it is necessary to do a charge/discharge cycle every 3 months to maintain its activity and recovery performance.
Charge 40% to 50% of the battery charge, and refrigerate in a dry environment. Cooler temperatures and less charge is conducive to maintaining the life of the battery, but too little charge can not be, because the battery will be self-discharge in storage, once the battery slowly run out of power, it will seriously shorten the battery life.

The article does not describe Short-term and Long-term, but from the article discussion and other articles from people asking about winterizing their golf carts, it is fine to leave our eBikes at FULL CHARGE for the several weeks we often experience during the winter. This article implies long-term for over a half-year.
In my case, if I don't plan to use the eBike for about a month, I don't charge the battery after my last use. I then charge it the day before I plan to ride again.
