The idea is to completely drain the battery... dead... flat. AT that point there is no danger because there is no charge (energy) left that can do any damage.

Any method you want to use will work, as long as it gets the battery to 0 volts.

Again.. the saltwater bath has been way overhyped imo and is outdated. (If you can find other ways to dump it dead)

I like the idea of using a nimh discharger... that will let you dump all the way.
