Default Discharge bank with relay on a switch?

Ok so, I'm building a charge case and I want to do an all out build. I'm designing the top deck and having my cnc company cut it for me, and I want to add a discharge bank. I have seen rotor craft RC add discharge banks into the case, inside a box with squirrel fans and ventilation to keep it cool. I have all that covered but they also have an 80amp relay installed that at a flip of a switch it turns channel 2 output to the resistor bank.

I'm wondering if anyone has any info on what 80amp relay I could use and a diagram of how it would be wired up. I suck with relays so just looking for some help on this one.

have to look at automotive relays, probably you can find something usefull at the local car scrapyard.

You want an automotive relay so you can power the control side with 12v off your power supply. Amazon and ebay have plenty of relays at that rating for big ass flood lights on jeeps.
