Just something I have always known.
Here's some calculations for self discharge:

Perhaps a bench test with a variable resistance/load while measuring the current drawn and observe the temp. of the wires?

That's probably the best way. Your concern is melting insulation, so just chart time*current vs melting.
You would be surprised how much current a small wire will handle in short bursts. When I see how small some of the wiring is in my series wound motor in the Electric Booger (2X 2 AWG wires to the brush holder) it amazes me how much current it lives with. 450 amps for minutes at a time.
