There is not an electric field inside a battery. The electrolyte cause the field to be in equilibrium otherwise it would immediately discharge. The field is present when the terminals are connected and that is why you get ion movement. Sent from my iPad On Jun 22, 2015, at 10:33 PM, Lee

Li cells are not designed to have low self discharge. It is a matter of physics. They just don't or I should say it is very very low and slows down with ever charge cycle. What loss there is is due to electrolyte breakdown and forming of the SEI layer, primarily. Sent from my iPad On Jun 19,
