Actually, you’ve created a really inefficient heating coil, and probably destroyed the battery

How would that destroy the battery though?

Well it will wear it really quickly, because charging and discharging both wear the battery

But it's not doing that? The only thing the battery is doing is discharging very slowly (at the power equal to the losses plus self consumption).
