Thank you. I will have to look into the double layer and see what I can learn.

I do not have a chemistry background, this is true. I suspect you do not have a science background! :) Of course the electric field points from + to -! Static electric fields always point from + to -. The electric field points from + to - outside the battery as well. And electric fields...

No, I don't! :) It sounds like you are saying that the charges move against the electric field (opposite the direction they would be expected to) because they want to.

But how is charge transported against the electric field?

I searched the threads but was unable to find this question: The electric field inside of a battery points from the positive to the negative terminal, yet when the battery is connected to a conducting loop charge is transported from the negative to the positive terminal as it flows through...
