Pardon my last post but its very annoying when I get the old "you havent tried 'em so you cant/dont know" argument. I come from a electical engineering background of over 30 years and I know how to read a simple self discharge vs. time curve, and I know what a scientific test is, I sometimes forget not everybody else does. Go look at the curve, in the first month there is very little difference with your batteries. They have a significant LONG TERM storage advantage but after a month its only about 10% difference. It real terms thats not much and I wouldnt want to do that ( allow 30 days discharge) with YOURS or MINE. I want a full charge when I switch sets, not a partially depleted battery. If you have to give up rated capacity ( did someone post that?) to get that dumb "feature" its a terrible trade to make unless of course you are somehow locked into having to charge months in advance for some god awful reason.

Acutally it does, it proves your a moron. I dont need to go to Alaska to know theres snow there, and if that battery company shows me how those batteries perform, I'm not going to buy them to prove otherwise. Grow up young man.
