Why do AA batteries lose charge?

We know that AA batteries (or any others) lose charge because energy is taken out of them with use. The chemical reactions that generate the voltage occur, and this "uses up" the energy in the cell. This is the long and short of why batteries lose charge, and you can see it if you think it through. We can also see a situation where a cell loses charge when stored. No materials are perfect insulators. And lengthy storage, or storage under improper or poor circumstances will set up conditions under which leakage current could discharge a cell. Plain and simple.
