[Mandrake50]

I found this from Xtar on their cells:

@Mandrake50

"When the cells are stored in the fully-charged state, the self-discharge rate typically remains below 5% per month. If the internal cells are stored with the voltage below 3.6V, (no way to check this) the self-discharge rate is less than 3% per month. You can rest assured that these 1.5V Li-ion batteries won’t get over-discharged within one year of your purchase. … Besides, please remember to charge these batteries at every 6 month during long-time storage."

Not nearly as good as LSD NiMH cells. But better than non-LSD cells.

I haven’t seen such specifications for other brands.
