You should never leave a battery Partially charged laying around for a long period of time, it is always better to fully discharge, then depending on the type of battery store empty or re-charge.
( This excludes LIPO´s ) thats a completely different animal.

if it's NiMh you can leave it charged and just top it up. If it's NICAD you need to discharge it.
