Discharger Help Needed!

[Mini-T racer]

I went to Lowes recently and i was going to make a discarger for my Mini-T. The lowest voltage light bulb was 4 watts, 1 problem, I need it to go to about 0.02 or a little higher. I then put in a bulb from a flash light which was 2.2 watt bulb. And then i hooked it up and it blew up. Any help finding the right (bulb) (bulbs) to make the discarger would be a big help! Thanks

How many amps do you want to discharge?

[highroller]

Most use the 1157 dual element, or 1156 single element auto taillight bulbs rate at 2amps. The other is to use a discharge resistor (Radio Shack) 1wt 10ohm but should use a DVM to monitor the pack voltage. Should be able to take it down to .90 volts per cell safely (.90 x number of cells). The ideal method is discharge at higher loads 10 to 30amp (10 should work best with AA cells or smaller) then use a lower load .50 to 2amps and bring each cell down to .25 volts or 1.50 for a 6cell pack.

Here is an adjustable one, with removeable bulbs (up to about 25 amps)
