PRODUCTION DATA
To determine how fast a leakage current on the battery discharges, the battery is used for the calculation. The time from full to discharge can be calculated by dividing the Amp-Hour Capacity of the battery by the leakage current. For a 0.75AHr battery and a 10-μA leakage current (750mAHr/0.010mA = 75000 hours), it would take 75k hours or 8.8 years to discharge. In reality, the self discharge of the cell is much faster, so the 10 μA leakage would be considered negligible.
