So uh. If I carry a fully-charged, spare laptop battery around with me, does the charge deplete while it's just sitting there, and would I need to charge it back up every now and then, or how's that whole thing work?

Chances are the charge will dissipate slowly, more so in humid weather. Best way to predict how long the charge will last is just through testing. Toss it in your laptop a week after charging it and see how much charge it has remaining. It shouldn't lose much in that time, but ya never know.

If its NiMH or LI they will both dissipate because of internal ESR and field effects. As Christine said, moist enviroments cause E and M fields to breakdown quicker and so the internal battery dissapates, but at a very slow rate. The problem is that the internal charger will try to put too much current throught it initially when it is almost fully charged. Put it on a trickle charger about every two weeks. The current should be around 1% of its mAH rating.
