What is it that you want it to do? Any options are possible.
I could care less about full discharge of battery prior to recharge. I bought it at costco, where all products are sold with a lifetime return-if-unsatisfied policy... beats best buy's warranty extension program, no?
If you want it to NOT charge, that's an even easier install... Use a product like this plugged into the AAI-NIS2:

I also just found this product that skips the internal amp/volume control/3.5mm jack that the belkin has, but gives you a charge and an RCA out from the dock... seems like a ripoff at $35, but probably a theoretically cleaner signal:

Or you could just wire a simple power cutoff switch from radioshack to the 2nd product and kill the power charge as you desire. While the belkin needs power to give a signal, it does not appear that the second product would need power for an audio output to stay alive.
You can make it work for whatever you want, I just used the belkin because it is cheap and available... and I hadn't found that 2nd product in time! I guess I'd move to that second product if I were unhappy with my current sound, but I'm very pleased as it is.
