|Definition=1. Discharge that takes place while the battery is in an open-circuit condition.<br />
2. The rate at which a battery, without a load, will lose its charge. This can vary considerably depending on the type of battery and age. It can be as low as 3% a month for a new AGM battery, and as high as 10% a week for an older Lead-Antimony (industrial) battery.<br />
