open for 7 days in a 20°C, 20% relative humidity environment. In that time the cells lost an average
of 11.7 mg water vapor and then when tested on the 620 ohm test in the same 20% relative humid-
ity environment performed at 65% of the typical initial 20% rH results. Design A, with the lowest
limiting current, had the best retention after open stand, since it restricts water vapor transport up to
85% better than the other designs.
