With a dummy load - something that dumps current as heat, and something to carry the heat away. There are many ways to make one. I made mine with a fan and heat strips from a derelict heat pump. Others have used electric water heater elements, or even coat hanger wire in a barrel of water. You'll find several discussions of this in the archive. But honestly, unless you're trying to eke out the very last meter of range, you don't need all this. Drive the car on a hilly route. Pop the battery cases open and (carefully) feel each terminal (hand over, not on, at first). The hottest ones need attention.
