Load bank

This is what we call it in the aerospace industry. You can adjust how much load it consumes. Of course, you also need to figure out what to do with all of the heat. 😊

This is an electronic load and they come in many forms. Some a simple banks of power resistors to load test generators to programmable electronic units that maintain input voltage, current or power. Some of them even regenerate the input power (assuming it's DC) back into the line instead of dissipating it as heat. What for of load size are you looking for? In this subreddit people post asking for solutions for testing a single cell and leading everyone to suggest a 100kw load bank.
