Isn't that the case for lithium batteries of any chemistry? I'm not a lithium expert by any means; I'm just asking. It occurs to me that some of Chris's parasitic loads could be coming from "inside the house," so to speak. That is, they might be from the BMS. I have 24v and 36v 10ah LiFePO4 batteries with a BMS with logic that's powered by a 12v tap (not the optimum design), and the 4 cells that power the BMS always take longer than the others to reach full charge. For long term storage I have read a suggestion to disconnect the BMS if possible - but don't forget to reconnect it when taking the battery out of storage.
