I've read posts that say I don't have to top off my batteries before a flight even if it's been several days since I charged them.

I've also been told that they discharge faster in higher temperatures. So I did a bit of study on self-discharge and found that many LiPOs discharge as much as 5%/month.

I'm also thinking about using the A123 cells for other applications that need long-term power in remote places. I want to keep spare packs around, but don't know how fast they will discharge by themselves.

Sooooo, maybe Brian can tell me the rate of discharge at various temperatures of at least at room temperature.

Thanks for the help.
