How should I store rechargeable lithium batteries for common cordless tools, to maximize their longevity?

I use the tools occasionally, so they often go months without use. Is it better to keep the battery unplugged, let it discharge if it will, and charge only when I am going to use it? Or should I buy a standalone battery charger so that I can keep it permanently plugged in and trickle charging the battery constantly, even when not in use?
