FYI, many EVs use a pre-charge resistor for their 400V pack of 40 Ohms so a peak 10A for a fraction of a second. I have seen different specs on the power rating, I believe the last I saw was 60 W ceramic rectangle with spade connectors. I have used those for some slow discharge on a 40V battery module. I have a bundle of Leaf pre-charge resistors so let me know if you need one or a couple. Cor.
