I like the idea of.... using the battery to have it fail so I can get a replacement before the warranty period expires.

If you used it in the intended manner, it might not fail for 2 or 3 years, and then you wouldn't have to go through the hassle of abusing your warranty rights.

Abusing warranty rights? That’s a bit severe to imply I am doing something fraudulent. Please clarify your meaning behind your statement please.
