What shelf life do the 18650's have for self discharge?
A quick survey of CandlePowerForums suggests that 18650s should retain at least 80% of their charge after a year in storage. If that's correct, it's impressive -- better than LSD NiMHs such as Eneloops.
Thats not better than eneloops because eneloops are rated at 80% or better after a year also.
