    The battery has a self discharge characteristic.

    The camera, even when the power is off, will consume some power since the power switch is a soft power switch (some electronics are energized when the camera is off).

    Recharge the battery every 6 months or remove the battery from the camera and recharge the battery once per year. Which reminds me, I need to charge my GoPro battery.

    Any battery will self-discharge over time.

    How long it takes depends on the type of battery and its condition.

    Yes, slowly but surely. In fact, if you let them go too long without recharging, they can actually self-discharge to a point from which they cannot be charged again.

    Yes. All lithium batteries will loose their charge over time.
