And I know the topic was discussed here on HF as well. It would be worth a search.

Hey Buddy.

I made myself one of the hair dryer loads and it works very well, it's fun to if you like a challenge.
Another option that is ready-made for you is one of these:

Apparently these work well with the DUO's to, right wattage and also ohms.

I am currently making a bank of 5 of these guys: http://goo.gl/fUko2y to use with my icharger 4010. This will give me a resistive load of 0.6ohms which will allow me to discharge at 40A. Somewhere around 1000w.

Hey buddy.

It's been found the best ohms for use with the DUO's is 1ohm, 0.3ohms will be too low and as the resistor gets hot will most likely drop further.

Got them wired up and tested last night. Works great. Now I can discharge at 1000w 40A @ 25vdc.
