Default do Li Poly batteries self discharge

I started to fly my electric plane a few weeks ago and decided to pack up and go home. The wind started gusting up to 25 mph and I didn't want my 1st flight using electric equipment to be done in a hurricane. I am an experience flyer but didn't know the actual power of the electric gear I have since i've never flow with electric before. The battery pack I'm talking about is a Zippy 20C , three cell 2650 Mah. Its been about 5 weeks since that happened. Will the battery still have its full charge or will I have to re-charge it? If in the event I do have to re-charge it, will I have to cycle it down or what is the procedure?
