    I'm planning to buy an XPS m1330. I'm considering whether to buy an extra battery now (as it will likely be cheaper) and keep it for about 3 years in storage while I wear out the main battery. Will the battery lose capacity just be sitting in my drawer or will it be as fresh as the day I bought it when I finally start using it?
