I want to measure lead acid battery self-discharge but I not sure when to trigger the self-discharge measurement algorithm. Is it constantly self-discharge or only in standby mode (no load)? If a battery does always self-discharge then what is the self-discharge rates for load-discharging and charging conditions?
