How to Drain a MacBook Battery


Unplug the power cable from your MacBook and run the computer from the battery. Plugging in the cable will recharge the battery, so avoid doing this until you have fully drained the battery.
Click the 'Apple' button on your MacBook's desktop and click 'System Preferences.' Click 'Energy Saver.' Select 'Battery' from the 'Settings for' drop-down list. Select 'Better Performance' from the 'Optimization' drop-down list. This will disable many of the MacBook's battery-saving settings.
Plug in USB powered devices such as a keyboard, mouse and flash drive. These devices draw power from your laptop's battery to function and will help drain the battery faster.
Click the 'AirPort Wireless' icon from the MacBook's menu bar and click 'Turn AirPort on.' Close the 'Available Networks' screen that loads. You don't have to connect to a network to drain your battery faster with this wireless utility.
Click the Bluetooth logo from your computer's menu bar and click 'Turn Bluetooth on.' Again, you do not need to connect a Bluetooth device to drain battery power with this feature.
Open up as many applications as you can without freezing the computer. This will tax your system's resources and accelerate battery usage.
Insert a DVD into the MacBook's disc drive and play the movie. This will further tax your system resources, force your battery to power the drive and give you something to watch while your battery quickly drains to empty. The computer will shut down when the battery is fully drained.
