It is not a good idea to leave new batts uncharged for a longer time, see
www.cadex.com for info on why this is so.

>How long will they last in this virginal state?

Not as long as they'd last if you used them successively for about two
months
each and store the other two fully charged in the fridge during that time
(not in the ice compartment).
