1. After the battery runs out and it shuts itself down (for lack of better term), close the lid, walk away, return 5 hours later.

OR

2. After the battery runs out and it shuts down... hold down the power button for 5-10 seconds.

hibernate/sleep, same thing. it will automatically shut down anyway. Just follow the instructions on the apple site.

the site says it automatically goes to sleep and has a backup battery to keep it in sleep , and when that backup finishes it will automatically hibernate(shut down after it writes the ram on the HDD). just do as the site says

You can use Caffeine to keep it awake until it shuts down. This should answer most, if not all, of your battery questions: Apple Notebook Battery FAQ

When this happens, close the lid and walk away for 5 hours or longer. By that time, the battery should be fully discharged and ready to recharge to complete the calibration.
