One thing i haven’t seen commented is that lithium ion batteries all require safety circuits built in, including single cells. This circuit will drain a few microamps as long as it’s connected, which practically means the battery’s entire life.

This safety circuit includes a microcontroller and a switch that disconnects the battery outside of it’s allowable voltage and temperature range.
