Its rather important to follow the manufacture's instructions as Lithiums are not as "standardized" as lead-acid.

BattleBorn has these instructions on their web site - virtually identical to the above:
We recommend bringing the Battle Born Batteries to a 100% charge and then disconnecting them completely for storage. After six months in storage your batteries will remain 75 – 80% charged.
