I won't need to discharge the battery for a few more months now, so in the interest of over-building the discharger for fun because there's no real time constraints, I went and got some 1/16" thick sheet aluminum today.

What I'm going to do is build an external bracket on the back of the discharger where I will re-mount the T4 socket. I also got a 300W bulb, so I'm putting that in there instead of the 500W. The bulb was like $3. My higher-voltage switch also came in from Mouser, and I installed that. The simple solution is of course the lightbulb screw sockets, but this is going to look cooler.
