[QUOTE="swimfreak26, post: 599711, member: 544365"] First, to answer your question....drive down to radio shack and get a high impedence resistor. Connect this to both terminals for a while and it will drain. Another, cheaper way to do this (although the resistor will cost like $1) would be to connect a light bulb to both terminals using wires (neg to neg, pos to pos). secondly... Don't ever do this without a resistor in the way, you will not be very happy with the explosive (quite literally) results. [/QUOTE]
