We're talking 30% over 10 years and roughly 5-15% over the first year or two. Assuming this is still faster than Lithium self-discharge, there is the practical limitation of not storing a lithium battery at or near full capacity (as your post already mentioned). Then there's the variable of parasitic draw, which many machines will have, regardless of the battery type it uses. So when it comes to long-term storage of batteries at full capacity, LSD NiMHs are the way to go, not (traditional) lithium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
