I've seen a few threads around discussing that very thing. I thought BrianG had ordered a bunch of high-wattage resistors at one point to build a test rig, but not sure how that panned out.
It would definitely be an expensive challenge to build a test rig that could handle higher voltage packs at 30C discharge rates. Also, finding people do donate packs for testing that may or may not survive said 30C discharge might be tough.
I would rather see how a pack holds out for 10 sec. at 30C than the whole discharge cycle at 6C like BigSquid did. That is a more realistic torture test of what it would experience in the vehicle.
