Nimh battery -when will it lose power
I have a 7 cell and a 8cell nimh battery. I charge them usually for 3 hrs till they are warm and fly after a day or so.
My question is how long will it take for the fully charged battery to lose its power if it is not flown or used up ?
How long will the charge last if it is not flown?
Thanks!

RE: Nimh battery -when will it lose power
It depends a lot on how old it is, how it has been treated (abused), how hot an environment it is in. But you can count on loosing about 10-15% of the capacity in a week (more if in a very warm environment), then 1-4% per day.
