Wouldn't worry too much. That sounds quite normal. I would leave it a month between charges when not in use.

Confirmed, that's normal. The battery's internal BMS is using a small amount of current all the time so that has to be made up for after any standby time.

Thanks for that , i thought coud be kaput seems weird loses so much in so short time, so does that mean if you left charged up for a month without using it would lose a lot more ?.

So long as, after a month, you are charging to full in less than an hour, then everything is fine.
Keep it cool when not in use, in the shed rather than the front room ;)
