Mark The only experiance I have with these continuous duty solenoids is motor homes use them for swithching batteries. If you use a starter solenoid they will get hot have voltage drop and in short order the contacts wear away simlar to points wear and stop working. Continuous duty solenoids are more expensive but they have 0 voltage drop don't get hot and I have only replaced 2 in 20 years of RVing and I also run a moble RV service part time. Thanks Wayne P.S. Marine duty solenoids can be purcased with a duty rating of 500+ amps. ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Jones <[email protected]> To: KR Net <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, April 12, 2004 8:29 PM Subject: KR> Solenoid
