It just occured to me, just because these batteries in question have a better LONG term ( but not short term ) self discharge rate, doesnt mean that other key specifications of these batteries were not compromised to get that feature/parameter. To make a fair judgement about these batteries you would need to compare all the specifications of them, not just long term self discharge rates. It could be an intentional tradeoff and what was traded off was more important than what was gained for some or most users. Beware of optimized parameters in general. Im not saying this is the case, but it could be if you dont know for sure.

You call 10% more charge LEFT after 30 days a lot of energy, it aint. AND if hes got a smaller capacity battery because of the feature ( thats not clear to me from the posts) he actully has LESS energy after a month than a higher capacity regular nimh. Take that to the moon!
