The rate at which a battery discharges when it is idle. As a battery ages its self-discharge rate increases.
The decrease in the state-of-charge of a cell or a battery, over a period of time, due to the internal electro-chemical losses.
The loss of useful capacity of a cell or battery due to internal chemical action.
The rate at which a battery, without being used will lose its charge over time.
Capacity loss during storage due to internal leakage between the positive and negative cell plates.
The rate at which a battery loses energy when not in use. This can be expressed as a percentage loss per day or month.
Discharge that takes place while the battery is in an open-circuit condition.
The loss of stored energy in a battery, with no load applied as a result of internal chemical processes.
