Buying battery ahead of time (question)

Would there be a downside to buying a new battery in advance, say a year or so ? I would have the opportunity to buy a new Optima Red Top at a good price but it seems my original will take me through for a fifth Winter, so I would not install the new one quite yet. If I store it in the basement will it affect it's longevity. I would think not but would like a second opinion. Should I charge it or leave it as is etc...
By the way, the Optima battery is small enough to fit in the 9-5 compartment and yet delivers about 40% more amps than the original.
