self worth when their image of self integrity is threatened. In this theory, people would respond to the threat using the indirect psychological adaptation of affirming alternative self resources unrelated to the provoking threat. As a result, these self affirmations enable people to deal with threatening events and information without resorting to defensive biases, by fulfilling the need to protect self integrity in the face of threat.

Self discharge is a phenomenon in Battery electricity batteries in which internal chemical reactions reduce the stored charge of the battery without any connection between the electrodes. Self discharge decreases the shelf life of batteries and causes them to initially have less than a full charge when actually put to use. How fast self discharge in a battery occurs is dependent on the type of battery, state of charge, ambient temperature and other factors. Typically, among rechargeable batteries, lithium batteries suffer the least amount of self discharge around 2 3 discharge per month , while nickel based batteries are more seriously affected by the phenomenon nickel cadmium , 15 20 per month nickel metal hydride , 30 per month , with the exception of Low self discharge NiMH batteries 2 3 per month . Primary batteries , which cannot be recharged between manufacturing and use, have much lower self discharge rates. Self discharge is a chemical reaction, just as closed circuit discharge is, and tends to occur more quickly at higher temperatures. Storing batteries at lower temperatures thus reduces the rate of self discharge and preserves the initial energy stored in the battery. Self discharge is also thought to be reduced over time as a passivation layer develops on the electrodes. The detailed chemical causes of self discharge depend on the particular battery and are not well understood.
