Abstract
A battery having a complete discharge mechanism includes a spring-biased switch with an element spring-biased from the switch and acts to close the switch when in a fully extended position. A block is position above the element with a passageway aligned with the element. A flexible positioned between the element and the passage prevents the element from extending into the passage. The tab extends through the battery casing. When pulled the tab allows the element to extend into the passage thereby closing the spring-biased switch and completing the discharge circuit.
