   Got the battery down to 5% by lunch time. That was a bit of work. It's almost like these things are designed NOT to run the battery down. lol

   It's *really* ready for a battery swap (see pic). And drained to 5% it won't be like a little grenade whole sitting around waiting to be taken to the hazardous waste depot.
