Will A Battery Lose Its Charge Sitting In Storage?

                    

THIS IS NOT TRUE!

- Depending on the type of battery and temperature, batteries have a natural self-discharge or internal   electrochemical "leakage" at a 1% to 25% rate per month.
- Higher temperatures accelerate this process. A battery stored at 95° F (35° C) will self-discharge twice as fast than one stored at 75°
- Over time the battery will become sulfated and fully discharged.
