Does my battery self discharge when not in use? What is the rate of Self-Discharge of the battery?

All batteries will self discharge over a period of time naturally whether the battery is used or not. This means that the battery capacity will go from 100% down to 0% over a time period regardless if the battery is being used or not. Recharging the battery corrects this naturally occurring reality.

Battery self discharge rate varies based on the chemistry type used and the temperature the battery is at: higher temperatures increase the self-discharge rate. This explains why batteries left inside cars on hot days must be recharged more frequently!

Battery self-discharge is a phenomenon in batteries in which internal chemical reactions reduce the stored charge of the battery. Battery self-discharge does decrease the overall shelf-life of batteries and causes them to initially have less than a full charge when actually put to use.

Here are average self discharge rates for the following chemistries:

To reduce the rate of battery self discharge during storage, store the battery at lower temperatures (not necessarily in a refrigerator or freezer, 50-72F is sufficient). This also preserves the initial energy stored in the battery.

Be sure never to leave a rechargeable battery at low charge for long periods, even during storage.
