Hello Guys! For a project, I need to drain a large 12V battery down to 11V (but not below) at a constant load of 24A in order to condition the batteries for maximum performance. I have a few ideas on how to do this, but thought I would ask the pros for some advice and probably some criticism (be gentle):

- Put the battery in series with a massive resistor and a heatsink and attach a voltmeter in parallel with the battery to monitor its voltage.
- Find a Voltage regulator and heatsink large enough to cope with this kind of power and attach a volt meter in parallel with the battery.
- Hook the battery up to some big halogen lights and do aforementioned with the volt meter.
- Do any of the above with a way to automate the voltage monitoring process.
