I haven't seen any science from BMS advocates yet. They make lots of assumptions based on nothing. Besides I have a BMS I just don't have a cell level BMS. I haven't heard the theory on self discharge yet? Or the rate at which they discharge or an example of someone putting one on the shelf

Paul, I'm not following you, here. How can you have 4v open circuit applied to anything? You could measure 4v open circuit across a power supply or, for that matter, a disconnected battery. But, I thought, the moment you connect it to something, you no longer have an open circuit.

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
