How long do Z4 batteries stay in storage...

About a month ago I put my M coupe in storage.. It's in "locked" barn, and I left the doors unlocked so that the alarm wouldn't be armed... I did not unplug the battery, I basically just parked the car as-is.

I'm planning on getting my car out of storage around the beginning of March. My plan is to charge the battery on my 2 amp charger overnight before I get it out...

Since it's been sitting for a month, do you think it would be OK to let it sit for another month without charging it, or do you think there would be any value of charging it now?

The battery is origina (MFG in 2006), so it's on borrowed time and I'm expecting to replace it sometime this summer, so if I toast this battery it's not the end of the world.
