    Discharging activities

    Hi there.
    I'm currently testing my battery, and I was wondering if there was some long but ultimately useful activity (the equivalent of Windows' defrag or chkdsk) for it to work on while it's battery runs out?

    I think the usual thing to do is to play a long video. Do not do anything that writes to the disk - I can't think of anything worse than a power failure in the middle of a defrag.
