I think the rule I have seen batted around is that they lose 1% per day.

I would guess therefore that you should not leave them for more than a
couple of months and still expect them to have any charge.

Don't know whether it would damage them at all if they were left at zero
charge for long periods?  I don't think so - do they come in a charged
state when you buy them?  If not then storing them discharged onviously
doesn't do any harm.
