<h1>What's mean High Self-discharge(1)?</h1>

<div align=justify>What's mean High Self-discharge(1)? Self-discharge is a natural phenomenon of any <A href="http://www.good-battery.com">battery</A>. It is not a manufacturing defect per se, although poor manufacturing practices and improper maintenance and storage by the consumer enhance the problem. The level of self-discharge differs with each chemistry and cell design. High-performance nickel-based <A href="http://www.good-battery.com">batteries </A>with enhanced electrode surface area and super conductive electrolyte are subject to higher self-discharge than the standard version cell with lower energy densities. Self-discharge is non linear and is highest right after charge when the battery holds full capacity. NiCd and NiMH <A href="http://www.good-battery.com">battery </A>chemistries exhibit a high level of self-discharge. If left on the shelf, a new NiCd loses about 10 percent of its capacity in the first 24 hours after being removed from the charger. The rate of self-discharge settles to about 10 percent per month afterwards. At a higher temperature, the self-discharge rate increases substantially. As a rule, the rate of self-discharge doubles with every 10°C (18°F) increase in temperature. The self-discharge of the NiMH is about 30 percent higher than that of the NiCd. A major contributor to high self-discharge on nickel and lead-based <A href="http://www.good-battery.com">batteries </A>is a high cycle count and/or old age. With increased cycles, the battery plates tend to swell. Once enlarged, the plates press more firmly against the delicate separator, resulting in increased self-discharge. This is common in aging NiCd and NiMH batteries but can also be seen in lead acid systems. more info:<A href="http://www.good-battery.com">www.good-battery.com</A> </div>
