MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT 191 Due to their internal composition, batteries continually self discharge. The discharge rate depends on the type of battery and ambient temperature. As temperature rises, so does the discharge rate. Every 15°C (59°F) doubles the rate. Electrical accessories, such as digital clocks and computer memory, also draw current from the battery even when the key is switched off. Due to a combination of such "key-off" draws and hot temperature, a battery can go from fully charged to completely discharged in a matter of days.
