Folks, I hate to say it, but maybe it's time to tie a knot in this thread. Plenty of good information has come to light, but I don't see any of the major players budging an inch. If you really think it's worth arguing more about this, by all means carry on -- but please do it via private

I am not talking about LFP, I have no literature that is current about LFP. I have been talking more generally about LiMO2. All I have seen is contradictory, anecdotal info on LFP. Jack Richard doesn't think they have spontaneous loss of charge - and onl;y a small loss of SOC from sitting - 1%

There is not an electric field inside a battery. The electrolyte cause the field to be in equilibrium otherwise it would immediately discharge. The field is present when the terminals are connected and that is why you get ion movement. Sent from my iPad On Jun 22, 2015, at 10:33 PM, Lee

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
