Reply on using lightbulbs to discharge

Generally you would be safe with about a 20amp discharge rate. Genrally it should be easy to find lamps that will pull 2 amps. That means if you hook up 10 bulbs in parallel you should be pretty good. What that means is that you want to hook up all of the + terminals of the bubls to the + of your battery, and the - of the bulb to the - of the battery. A good example of that is here: http://www.wsdeans.com/products/discharger/Discharger.jpg

Although, be warned. You can OVER-DISCHARGE batteries and if you do so it can harm them. Most high-end dischargers will automatically stop at a preset voltage as to not drain them too far. If you decide to make your own, you should hook up a volt meter to the battery pack and monitor it closely and only drain it to the number that the pack is rated for. This means if it's a 7.2 volt pack, you should discharge the pack till your volt meter reads 7.2v.

So to answer a little better:
If you have typical 7.2v battery packs and you want a 20 amp discharge, this would mean you would want to get approximately 140 watts worth of light bulbs. That would mean 8 bulbs rated at 20 watts should work well. If you have a 7.2v battery pack and you hook it up to 8 bulbs rated at 20 watts you should have exactly a 25 amp discharge (which should be fine). I am not sure on that math - but i think it's correct. If I am wrong someone should correct me on it.

I hope that helps you out.
