Suggestion: Module "Dump XXX Ah" command.

Hi Stuart,

What I'm proposing would 'simply' be another button on the 'Modules' page, similar to 'Identify', which could be setup to tell an individual module to 'dump' a configurable amount of Ah. It would then just chug away at whatever speed it could, until it had done that....

I believe that this functionality could have helped me immensely. I had to rush the final install of my LiFePO4/DIYBMS banks and my cells weren't as well balanced initially as I had thought they were. I'm currently spending quite a bit of time manually (with some big resistors) discharging the top end ones (they seem to be at least 10Ah ahead of the rest at the moment). This is going to take quite a while as we're in the middle of winter, and are slightly under sized on the PV front. As a result of that, it occurred to me that this additional functionality in DIYBMS would be of great benefit, even if only for a short period of time after installation.

Cheers Ken
