Load Resistor 6.8

6.8 Ohm 400 Watt load resistor in extruded aluminum shell for discharge testing battery packs. Will drain a 36V battery at 5 amps, and a 48V battery at 7 amps. Connect multiple loads in parallel for higher discharge currents. 

Important: Direct hookup with a 72V battery will overheat and cook the resistor. For use at 72V, it is essential to purchase two of them and wire in series. 

Note Load can get very hot in use, be sure to place on an appropriate refractory surface.
