Using power resistors is not feasable, but AC halogen bulbs are easily sources up to 500W , so multiple bulbs can be used to vary the current

120Vrms
500bulb watts
28.8bulb resistance
52battery voltage
93.88889watts
1.805556amps

So on a 52V battery pack a 500w halogen bulb would draw about 1.8Amps

Voltage can be monitored with a simple voltage divider to lower the 52V to something suitable ( < 3v probably )

Current can be monitored with a shunt

This instructables guide would be a good starting point

Could be better to stick with one technology AKA PyCom
