Charge runs between the poles when you connect them with a circuit, or leaks out slowly through parasitic internal paths. Don't expect to light an LED very long, though there are configurations where a few seconds are possible. Of course they should not be self-heating, nor is it good for them to be subject to substantial heat from other sources
