@dukeread01:

Up to 10% in the first 24 hours
and 1 or 2% per day after that


Hmm....I wonder if that is still true on the new Ni-Mh batteries. I just
turned on a little flashlight I keep in my desk. It's got two Tokima 2200
maH Ni-Mh batteries I can't remember when I charged, but it has to be 8-9
months ago. The bulb, not LED, in the little flashlight is just as bright
as it ever is. I'm going to leave it on to see how long it will be until
it's dead. 230maH in the first day? Wow, that's a lot of loss...

These batteries should have self-discharged long ago, by now.
