I wonder if anyone can answer this: The Evo 2 Series Smart Batteries seem well designed. They have air vents for cooling, and the current firmware level allows you to choose when to start discharging the smart battery if unused, from 1 to 10 days, in 1 day increments. That' really granular control and I appreciate that they provide that level of control over discharge. But beyond that there is little available information. For example:
If I set discharge to "2 Days" - I can take a look at the battery at day 3 or 4 and will typically see 3 of 4 LEDS of charge level indication. I see at some point further in time 2 LEDS + 1 flashing. All of this is documented somewhere as: 2 + 1 flash = 51% to 62% and so on.
Does anyone know at what RATE the auto discharge occurs. and if it happens at timed cycles, what those are? I.E. Does it:
With our $200+ batteries, there is no way I am going there. Even companies with warranty only refund the cost of the charger, leaving you with wasted batteries.
Anyway thanks in advance if anyone knows more about auto discharge cycles, limits and such.

- Discharge one level at the set # of days you choose: (Down 12%)
- Does it then discharge another 12%? When? Every 2 days?
- When or at what voltage or percent does it STOP discharging?
