Perhaps the issue of self discharge requires more than a month of shelf time, to rear its
ugly head? If so, I don't see how it impacts most users of the JBL.
What might be a more interesting comparision would be the after charging shelf life of the LSD Rechargables vs. Primary Batteries shelf life. Which would be better to have if I needed to have "charged" batteries after many months of storage? Of special interest
might be the Lithium Primary Batteries.
As it is, if I can get the 24 days after charging shelf life from the non-LSD ubiquitous
Energizers and see no problem, I don't see the need for the "LSD" feature, for use with
the JBL. If I should somehow manage to leave a set of the batteries unused for a number of months, so that the self discharge effect mattered, I could probably stand to
wait the 2hr to charge them.
(The Energizers are at >24hrs use time and still 3bars, I expect the end soon.)
Luck;
Ken
