It depends...
A fully charged battery, stored in a relatively mild climate could sit for years, as long as there's nothing drawing power.

up here where it can reach -30 during the winter, a fully charged, and disconnected battery should be good till spring...

Conversely, if the battery is stored with a low charge, in those extreme temps, it's likely toast...

I don't want to think about how many batteries i've killed that way...
