There used to be third party utilities out there that would handle these things and they might be available on the net, so do a search on shareware.com and see what you come up with. Otherwise, I'd disable all APM features, create a DOS batch file like this: echo off break on copy *.* c:\temp /y call battery Save it as battery.bat in a directory and run it. This would continuosly copy file from this directory to your c:\temp directory until the battery ran down. Hopefully you have Win95 or a recent version of DOS so it'll support the /y switch. (Try this on your own risk ;-)) I've Fuel v4.0 on my 760ELD which has the discharge option but haven't use it yet. John Pham --- On Wed, 30 Oct 96 12:39:13 +0600 "Scott A.

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.
