Discharging big LiPos

[dillwhacker]

Does anyone have a neat and clever way of discharging big LiPos?
Say you set out with 8 batts 6S or 12S 5000, and have fewer flights than you had hoped.....
How do you reduce them back to a sensible storage level?
Most chargers take forever to discharge these. I am faffing about with a string of old car headlamp bulbs, but there must be a better way?
Could buy myself a 1 Ohm 2000 Watt resistor, but just wondering what you guys have come up with?

Spend longer at the field, and fly them all!!

Or, fly all of them, but only for half a flight each,

Headlight lamps here to, nothing cheaper that easily works.

Just fooking bright with 8 of the beggars going full tilt.

this is the best way i found......But you can never use them again! HAHAHAHA!
or you could just do a 2 to 3 min hover on each set !

Cheers guys!!
My main reason for not spending longer at the field is.....well, crashes, to be honest.......And VOLT I don't want to destroy them just cos I destroyed the heli - well, actually, I'm looking forward to the day I get a chance to bash one with a garden fork..

Discharge into car batterys or something in paralell.

I have two car batterys connected in paralell to my charger. I charge from them and regenerative discharge into them @ about 10 amps. Takes longer than it does to charge, granted - but its not painfully slow. When they need topping up (To charge stuff) I just leave them on overnight on a low charge rate.

You can get resistors to do it as well though, as you say.
