Can I use this to discharge my batteries?

Discharge resistor (http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&P=WR&I=LXZH41)

I bought something like this from the local hobby store. It's 30 Ohms. Can I use it to discharge my Nicad packs? 8.4v 600mah and 9.6v 1700mah?

I think that prevents the battery from discharging on its own.
