I've heard people say that they discharge relatively quickly
if not used - but that hasn't been my experience. I've had them
sitting fully charged for a month or more - and then used them
with no obvious problems.

Not AFAIK...it's not like Lead-acid batteries in that respect.

Wow!
I wonder if it shortens the life of the cells though? Seems like the
manufacturers would have figured out a faster way to charge them if it
were sensibly do-able.
