Max 300A Continuous Duty Solenoid Relay Nickel-Plating For Winch, Marine In Rush 12VDC

I purchased this product because I needed a continuous duty solenoid to keep two 12v batteries wired in parallel charged while driving the vehicle but not engaged while the engine is off, so my engine battery would not lose its charge because of the two house batteries draining it without my knowledge. It took some time to install the system and get my Chevy cargo van ready for some distance camping. But even before I left town, I discovered that the solenoid was getting hotter than I could even touch and my automatic breaker kept cycling. The odd thing was that I didn't have my inverter turned on nor any of my inside lighting (which wouldn't have been much). The only thing that was going on was the solenoid providing power from the alternator to keep the two house batteries charged. Nothing on the device indicates it's a continuous duty device and nothing on the device indicates the rated amperage. I'm quite disappointed that the device I purchased didn't even last for a single camping trip but gave me enough unrest, over perhaps suddenly bursting into flames, that I disconnected the device. And since I purchased the device June of 2019 and it's now August of 2020, I can't even return it for a refund. So, it's a total bust and I would caution other buyers to be aware and make certain you thoroughly check it out before getting into a desolate area and finding that it's just not what it should be.

These are NOT continous duty says on solenoid 5mins false advertisement have 4 now and no use to me and pass rhe return date junk

For all you Golf Cart riders. I normally do not write reviews, but when its necessary to prevent accident or harm, then I find myself doing the right thing and writing one. I have a 2017 Yamaha G29/ drive electric golf cart. I installed this solenoid hoping for better performance. Pretty easy to install. After installation, I gave it the test ride. The solenoid had a loud click when mashing the gas to engage it, which my old one did not. J hunt from my cart, so this was a negative. I headed down the road to neighbors house which is 600 feet one way, I know exactly, because I built the fence that runs parallel with the test ride, the cart did not perform any better. I turned around at my neighbors and came back another 600 feet, 1200 total. Pulled up at my shop, went to feel of the solenoid and it was way over 300 F. I could not even touch it. I left my cart sitting for a while and used pliers to hold the solenoid while I unwired it to remove it from cart. I would be scared to death to run this thing frequently on a golf cart and park the cart in your carport, shop per say. It might very well burn it to the ground. I really wished it had worked, but it didnt.

Continue starting solenoid comes with 1 resistor and a diode. Lil confused about this resistor and diode. How they goes to install with the solenoid. No details or diagram or schematic. Well I paralleled the resistor with solenoid and I series the diode to latch input negative to the battery

ok
