Default RE: Stupid Battery question

My battery is a NiMH which according to the site has a self discharge rate of 3%-4% per day on average. This means it should actually be pretty dead after 2 weeks. I will put it through a full slow charge before flying on that battery. After that its off to calculation to determine what my plane drains from the battery per minute of flight. Then Can use that info to Calc how long "Top-Offs" should take...
