Default Long term battery storage

so i fly down to florida expecting to be able to use my 7 cell ib 4200 on my evader. well bad news the battery is shot. i frequent fly to florida but there are times where i might not be around for a few months out of the time... well i knew this so i fully charged my battery and left it in a cool room and was gone for about 3 months.. is there a way to keep the battery good while i am gone. last time i was here i lost 2 elite 4300 batteries, same scenario. does freezing the batteries at full charge help??? any ideas welcomed, i just brought down my 2 favorite smc IB 4200 batteries and i dont want to lose these.
