Storing a full bottle over Winter

Car is stored away for the winter(on jack stands, wheels removed, car cover, battery removed, etc.) in the garage. Can I just leave the full 15 lb bottle in the car? or bring it inside and store in basement? Please advise. Thank you.

I left mine hooked up in my car, as long as the bottle is off it shouldn't hurt anything.

why take the wheels off when you store it seems like overkill to me... i understand the battery

Winter temps here in Chicago gets pretty harsh and my garage is not heated. I only have a set of drag only wheels/tires. So they come off and stored in the basement where it's warm... to prolonged it's life.
