Quick and simple, how do dischargers work? How do they discharge the energy in the battery?

I'm not sure how they work, but all they are is a light attached to a vented plastic cover. Maybe just some small mechanism that's inside it that goes unseen and unheard? Or something that simply make the battery output a lot to power the light (Since, when the light is off, it's done discharging).
Those're my guesses. ;D

there's a ceramic element inside that converts the energy to heat... (which is why it's vented) basically, it just takes the battery down to nothing by converting the energy to heat...
Personally, i use an array of 4 120mm computer fans...it's about 3 times as fast.
i found a retailer who was selling un-tailed fans online around 2 years ago. 120x38mm Delta's...move 135 CFM of air... huge ass fans for $1.50 each. got a case of 50 shipped to me.
i've got 6 in the tower next to me, 4 in the array, a 2 each in my other two towers... and i've sold the rest off.

Mac, your right, actually anything you can load the battery with (motor, light, etc...) will work.
The "ceramic" part is actually a resistor, I forget how many OHMs it is, but there pretty simple really.
