This "zero self-discharge" myth seems to be a common thread with the "anti-BMS" crowd. I don't know where this misinformation comes from.

All cells have self-discharge. It is just a matter of degree. Also, the self-discharge varies from cell to cell. That's why you need a BMS. These are well-documented facts for all those that care to investigate, either through the scientific literature or by simply systematically testing cells for themselves (as Lee Hart has done.)

I strongly suspect the "zero self-discharge" myth comes from the same unscientific source that the anti-BMS myth has sprung from.
