Heya guys,
I am searching for a continuous duty solenoid/relay/contactor to handle turning off power to my batteries.
I had an electrical issue a while back in my truck and ever since then, something will continually draw power in my cab. I cannot seem to figure out where the draw is coming from but it behaves as though my ignition key is turned partially on at all times and I cannot seem to find the source of the problem.
I have wired in a high amperage relay right next to my batteries that I use to cut power to the system when I shut the truck off. I have burned out 3 relays so far, each time moving up to a larger, higher rated relay. The last one that I cooked was rated for 300amps continuous at 24v dc, so 150A. It lasted almost 1 year but just died on me.
