Discharging a wireless USB keyboard for long-term storage

I am scanning the newsgroup names for the proper one.

Is "discharging batteries" actually material science? Or physics? Fire department? Military? Assassination?

You can actually detonate a bomb by discharging a small battery wrapped inside explosives, right? :)

Then police? fbi? alt.conspiracy?

Which group should I choose, Your Honor??? Meow???

That should have been Reddit?

Why isn't Usenet listed in NYSE? Why Threads & Reddit can?

Come on Usenet, go IPO! :)

Can you trust those masked faces in Facebook? Sorry, I cannot.

And Facebook is NOT like NNTP news-reader like Thunderbird. :)

Gosh. How did I miss that?

The problem is...

is discharing a battery purely a physical chemistry issue when circuit boards are involved usually? :)

DO not ask whether I am trying evil things. I just wanna return a rechargeable battery back to safe state.

Because the circuit prevents discharging via the USB-C port? So as not to affect the charging process? :)

Just wanna stop using the wireless USB keyboard in question, wrap it and put it back into the box. Then stuff it somewhere fire-safe.

That's all. No evil ideas. Not trying to blow up anything. Well...

Evil people might read this thread, sneak into my home then steal my wirelss keyboard and use it to do evil. Well.... I have lost many things without me knowing it.

This is quality trolling. We haven't had a good trolling session for a while.

Okay, so trolling also means cross-posting? :)

Is this combo healthy? I rather drink Chinese or tea instead of soda. Meow...

After days of use, its fixed and hidden battery finally could not operate the keyboard. Buttons start failing to work momentarily then totally.

No, the battery level LED (red in color) is still flashing when hitting a key. There is still electricity in its rechargeable battery.

How can I drain the battery by mechanically, automatically hitting a key continueously on the keyboard using everyday items? A motor with a crane?

Like pumping oils in the Middle-East? Meow.... :)
