Ive built a 14s 7p 18650 pack and I'd like to test it out before mounting on my bike. How do I create a test load for it?

i tend to wind a coil of magnet wire and put it in water how big a load do you want to make ( how many watts or amps at what voltage )

I would like to test for 20A
there is a few ways to do it depending on what level of skill you have you need about 2 ohms to get approx 20a you will need to dissipate neary 1kw of heat coiled up magnet wire works well if you keep it under water but i would only advise that if you know what you are doing ( i use that for testing 100a on 48v packs you would be suprised how fast 4.8kw will boil water )
if you decide to go the magnet wire root use this https://www.cirris.com/learning-center/calculators/133-wire-resistance-calculator-table
