LSD 9v NiMh vs. li-poly 9v

[john2551]

Hi all,

Would this LSD 9v nimh: http://thomasdistributing.com/shop/...html?SP_id=&osCsid=kc7sts10aje5vpusu5lfirqnf7
have a lower self discharge than this: http://thomasdistributing.com/shop/...html?SP_id=&osCsid=kc7sts10aje5vpusu5lfirqnf7

Does li-poly chemistry have a natural LSD rate?

One thing to be aware of with lithium polys (and lithium ions in general) is they don't like to be stored at full charge. I've heard doing this will start to degrade the batteries after a few weeks. Lithium polys and unprotected lithium ions have almost zero self discharge so as long as you use them or store them at mid-charge they'll be fine.
