The weather has been pretty nasty around here and my Phantom 2 has been grounded. Is it okay to store the battery with a full charge? What is the best way to store the battery, lets say, for a week? If you store it with a full charge for a week, will it damage the charge capacity? Just curious on what would be considered, "best practice".

It's not recommended to keep the battery fully charged, however for the time spans we are talking here (days-week) it should be fine. Anything outside of that, most LiPo manufacturers suggest storing at 40% charge in a cool location (but NOT in the fridge!).
Here is my go to source on lipos

They recommend storing fully charged lipos in the fridge. They also do not recommend deep discharging (as DJI promotes).
I try to always store mine between 40-60% at room temperature.
