Me too, until a couple of weeks ago...

At work I designed an electrical ride on mower. It has a huge LiFeSO4 
battery inside. When doing research I found out that these batteries 
need to be stored completely full. So I did a test when buying the 
samples. I bought a couple extra. The one we drained before storing for 
4 months had reduced capacity. Like 40% less. The other one was OK. I 
have to admit that after some use the first battery re-gained its power, 
though I still think this battery is off worse tan the other one.

Cheers,
