Mr. Man-wai Chang,
> Can you do it via its Type-C USB port?
Definitily not.
There is a bit of electronics between the cables power-lines and the
battery - to make sure that the battery doesn`t load to fast and not gets
over/under charged (both can kill a battery rather quickly), and also to
make sure that when the connector pins *accidentily* gets short-circuited
you don`t end up with a laptop-bag or backpack bursting into flames (or just
fries the keyboards electronics).
And for the record : you should *never* short-circuit a battery (or any
power-source for that matter).
But as asked, why do you think you should discharge the keyboards battery to
begin with ?
Regards,
Rudy Wieser
