Please don't take this the wrong way, but as I had a scientific education I
feel compelled to ask (and yes, I really DO want to know the answer):
If a rechargeable cell has any amount of self discharge, a fully-charged
cell will all by itself become a partially-charged cell when stored. So if
it is better to store cells partially charged, one could store them fully
charged and simply let nature take its course.
Or are you saying that lithium-ion cells have zero self discharge (which
might be true for all I know)?
