How long can I store a new lithium battery before installing it?

I'm in the process of buying a new battery for my Dell laptop and I need to do it while I'm in the US, because I can't find reputable brand ones in Europe, namely iFixit, but also the oem from Dell. However, I don't want to install it right away, because I can probably still go one year or so with the one I have in the laptop right now. How long can I store a new battery before installing it?

Not an expert on parts storage, so anyone else please correct me - but as long as you have it in a dry, not overly hot (don't stick it somewhere with direct sunlight/high humidly/its for some reason over a 100(?) degrees F and I'm guessing the shelf-life shouldn't be altered from whatever the manufacturer norm is.

Which if I had to guess, is a couple years?

Not certain, just going off intuition here but I can't see why a spare battery kept in the box and in safe, standard storage would have any degradation. Especially ordering an EOM from Dell.

@riccardo31574 "There is virtually no self-discharge below about 4.0V at 20°C (68°F); storing at 3.7V yields amazing longevity for most Li-ion" Li-ion cannot dip below 2V/cell for any length of time. Best place to learn about all types of batteries is definitely on here Let's go with a conservative estimate of "years" :-) You'll be fine waiting for one year.
