Mine is dropping no where near 1V/month. More like 0.1V/month

OP
Interesting. What voltage range is that?
Like I said, mine is just one data point. And I have really been wondering if the self-discharge would slow at lower voltage levels.
My cells are brand new ones purchased whenever I got the scooter (earlier this year?). I got the exact ones Jon recommended. They have only been fully charged 2 or 3 times and they dropped to 2.5V - 2.7V once, just in the last month which was when I sent it all to Jon. My point: I think my cells are very healthy and should not be dropping at an unusually fast rate.
right now its sitting at 82% charge and has been for months. I didnt recharge after the last time I used it.
OP
I'm not sure what the percent means, or if it's even useful. Actually, I think mine was reporting 99% even when the voltage had dropped from 67 to 62V. It seems like I read in another thread that the percent doesn't update when it's just doing self-discharge. The percent only updates when you're actually running it. Thus why I think Jon has posted that we should pay attention to volts, not SOC (state of charge - i.e. %).
Is it an X.1 or X.2? And do you know what the actual voltage is?
