Battery storage
While I wish I traveled more often there's usually a few month gap in between escapes so should I be removing my battery from my Canon T3 Rebel during this time or is it safe to leave it in?

If, on the other hand, the camera uses AA rechargeable batteries, I'd definitely take them out between uses. They bleed power like crazy and will drain out in a period of months.

It's a LP-E10 battery and is lithium. I recharge it after returning home but wasn't sure if I should store the battery separately. Maybe I will for anything longer than 2 -3 months.
