Hi all,

I have a Siemens SL45 battery here that seems to loose charge in about
1/2mins, even after a full charge time. I want to fully discharge this
battery (Lithium Polymer 540mAh, 3.6V) fully to see if the battery is
FUBAR'ed or can be charged again.

I am contenplating just hooking it to a 10R 25W resistor (this won't
damage it, I don't think), and leaving it for a few hours.

Is there any better (read quicker) way, that won't damage the battery. I
don't know if there are any "smart" components there..

tia,
Bernard
