I was racking my brain for info on how to test the battery without modifying the car. A hill! Why didn't I think of that?

If you don't have one of those, you could put it in 5th, go full throttle from 30mph up to the speed limit, down to 30mph in neutral, repeat as needed. It should only take a few minutes to deplete the pack.
