| Class | System | Self-discharge |
| Primary | Alkali-manganese cell | 0.5% per month | Leclanche cell | 0.5% per month | Lithium/ | 0.5% per month | Lithium-ion | <10% per decade |
| Secondary | LSD-NiMH | 4% per month | NiCd | 20% per month | RAM | 0.5% per moth |
| For comparison: Supercapacitor | EDLC | 1.8% per day |
