Just use a bunch of the deans bulb dischargers they are 30 amp loads with 10 #1157 automotive lightbulbs. Wire a bunch in series and watch her glow. Kinda old school use to use them for ni-cd's and ni-mh packs but good size load for not much cash and real simple.

I'm apt to do it, I would love to see 75C from that pack over and over again. Parts ordered!

1157 automotive light bulbs, 2 amp load for each light, that would be 487 light bulbs to get a 75C load on a 6500 mah lipo right? That would not only light up the room, it would heat it in winter also. What could be used for a LVC?

Why to keep this post alive?
Maxxamps has no intention to respond to your request.
Their only goal is to keep the discussion alive to "talk about" their products.
It's a basic marketing rule.

I don't know guys but the diesel glow plug seed to have been doing the job easily. It got stupid hot but if you do the test on concrete I don't see an issue. One of them (at least the one I used) managed to pull just a little over 15A so I am guessing that you wouldn't need too many to test a lipo properly. I called one wrecking yard and they said that they wanted $85 for one second hand glow plug like the one I used so that wouldn't be feasible. I also called a truck wrecking yard and asked if the had some cheap glow plugs. They said that there are engines out back that I can have the glow plugs from for $10 a piece but I had to remove them my self. Still I am not all that confident doing this nor do I want to destroy any of my batteries so maybe I should leave this kind of testing to those in the know.
