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 Har

This "zero self-discharge" myth seems to be a common thread with the "anti-BMS" crowd. I don't know where this misinformation comes from. All cells have self-discharge. It is just a matter of degree. Also, the self-discharge varies from cell to cell. That's why you need a BMS. These are well-
