Do you want something proprietary or would you consider something modified for use?

They still use a normal Aussie style plug on the end, I only mess with the "safe(r)" side - the low voltage part.
I'm also an mech/elec engineer - I was taught to play with way more dangerous stuff than this at university and design much bigger stuff that other people build at work
I can completely understand the trepidation though.

Low volts (12-24) and high Amps (20-30A) is the fast way.

The items I "modify" (and it's not much more than changing the output plugs) - are very simple, very stable ex server power supplies. I've done 6 now.

Yes I was joking...
Server power supplies are a very common source for RC

I think you'll find the milliseconds of burst current from a standard GPO, across a simulated short circuit (DC Cells), will absolutely exceed 30A at around 200V depending on the cable. This will stop as soon as all of the smoke comes out of the battery. But yes I agree it won't be effective.
