I use my camera only occasionally when I travel once in two months. So when not in use what is a the best way of keeping my LI-Ion rechargable battery fresh, and lengthen its shelf life ???
Inside the cam or out of it?
Fully charged or not?
Please help and advice...

For that long of a time period, I would definitely keep the battery out of the camera just in case it should leak or somthing. I'm not sure if it applies to LI-Ion batteries or not, but I store my regular alkaline batteries in the fridge and they hold their charge a little longer. I imagine over 2 months they would lose at least some of the charge no matter what, so always "top off" your batteries before you go on a trip to make sure they're fresh.
