1.) A location which is always above freezing, though a basement is not the first choice unfortunately.
2.) Either, but if trickle charger is utilized, you must keep an eye on the water so that it does not "boil" away, as well as open up the covers to vent the vapors. Probably not a good idea if storing this in your basement.
Another thing to remember is never to let a battery sit on concrete. It will quickly drain it. Put it on blocks of wood and then on the concrete.
I have stored the battery(s) in my '85 Nissan 300ZX in my garage (which typically stays around 45 degrees or higher) every year since I purchased the car new, and have never had a problem with them (other than age) if following what I stated above. I have used a trickle charger as well as just charging it prior to using it, and both work fine.
