If you have two lines on the PIC free, use one of them to sense power
fail. After writing to the EEPROM's and verification, use the other line
to turn on a LED and put the PIC in sleep or get into an infinate loop.

This will discharge the cap and also ensure that the EEPROM writing is
over.

I use this method discharge the tank cap in a 6 digit counter after
writing into the 16F84 EEPROM.
