Re: How to discarge batter with fuel?

["Scott A. Stratmoen" <strat@eiws.esid.northgrum.com>]

All Thinkpad models do not support this feature. If your model support discharge there will be three
buttons on the fuel util. Otherwise just leave the unit on, with the charger disconnected, until the unit
suspends. Then recharge the unit fully.

There is nothing special about the discharge feature.
