Connect the + and - terminals with an appropriately sized resistor, it'll drain all the way to 0V.

Because you're not using the + and - terminals, you're using the + and - supply of a BMS, which is connected to those terminals. For this sort of testing you need to bypass the BMS, which'll have its own voltage cutoffs.
