I would like to give a little warning on doing so. You could easily forget
to remove the discharging circuit if the light bulb doesn't light anymore
and thus risk a super deep discharge of the accu. This is certainly much
worse then a little bit lost capacity due to the pratically non-existent
memory effect.
