Do all flashlights slowly discharge when not in use? (kbin.social)

I was thinking about buying a wurkkos fc11 as my first flashlight but it said they recommend untwisting it in a review to avoid making a connection so it doesn’t discharge while not in use. Do I need to worry about that with all flashlights? I was planning on keeping it in my backpack so I have it whenever.

Should be closer to 60% but still, it's not in a long term ready state. Long stored batteries should be recharged before use.
