Unfortunately there is no way around that. For the battery to be replaced under warranty, it has to go through the full discharge/recharge cycle test, to see if the end capacity is below 70%, and you pay the labor charge to do the test. I'm sure that the 'you pay unless it fails' policy is there to limit everyone who's range drops even a little from coming in and asking for a free battery test, which ties up a service bay for a day, and a mechanic for at least an hour-plus in total to set up and run the test.
