Does a disconnected battery still drain?

810 views

I got a question regarding batteries. In winter when I don’t ride my motorcycle, my battery drains bit by bit and if I don’t charge it, it’s dead after a few months.

What happens if I disconnect it and take it out? Does the battery still drain, but less? Does it not drain at all?

All batteries lose their charge over time. The specifics of the chemistry involved differ from one kind of battery to another but a battery’s charge is just its ability to move free electrons from one side to the other and by its very nature a battery is in an unstable state.
