| I've done this before - it seemed to work when I shipped my dive gear by sea during a relocation.
1) Remove batteries from canister and store in a separate bag
Afterall leaks and off-gassing create their own problems..
2) Remove O-Ring and store
I usually put a grease barrier on an o-ring if I am storing it for a long time
3) place canister in dark, dry location
I try to keep the electronics dry - usually by leaving the lid closed and throwing a silica gel sachet in the canister.. i used about 4 sachets in the sea shipment - no visible corrosion from the sea air.
Good luck...
although it's always painful to put the gear away for so long - I hope it doesn't mean no diving in that period!
