TL;DR
What is the most precise determination of the electron mass (or ##e/m_e##) that does not rely on a magnetic field?
The CODATA value of ##e/m_e## comes from Penning-trap cyclotron frequency measurements (strong ##B## field). Are there any competitive determinations of the same ratio ##e/m_e## using purely electric methods (no ##B##)? For instance from LINAC kinematics or Duane-Hunt bremsstrahlung? The papers I found have precisions of only 2–10%. Is there anything better?
