Cor, yes 20% of 4 mA would of course be 0.8 mA...I also wrote the pack voltage is the same after sitting for two weeks, but I meant to write Ah...sigh. When you consider that I usually charge every or every other day those small drains don't matter since I'm pulling 70 - 120 Ah out over that time. That's why I think these things are inconsequential in every day operation.
The discussion in this thread has been entertaining, also some good papers to read. I agree that there seems to be a difference in theory and practice due to contaminants and non-ideal manufacturing. Also believing is seeing. Yes, I meant to write it that way. We tend to seek confirming evidence, accept it readily and uncritically, and scrutinize disconfirming evidence carefully to find a way to reject it. That's why two people can read the same paper and find evidence for their opposing views.
