Yes, close to nothing.

I'm now going to use the following rule of thumb:

~0.9%/day self-discharge for traditional NiMH
~0.2%/day self-discharge for LSD NiMH


[EDIT: Caveat: That "rule of thumb" is just mine, derived from the figures in my previous post. It's not like it's a well-documented rule of thumb.]
