See article describing circuit. http://www.electronicdesign.com/displays/resistive-dummy-load-draws-constant-current-12-50-v
All component values and reference designators changed from article though. All load resistors are off PCB too. Use 1% through hole resistors mounted to output banana jacks. U1 is REF3012, U2 is OPA313, and U3, optional, is TPS3702AX18DDCT for checking battery voltage. This version will work off 2 x AAA batteries.
