good part. No instructions

Good part. Had to find a schematic online to wire it up, it wouldn't have been difficult to turn it on but the solenoid worked for what I needed.

Pros
  • Allows you to extend battery life and control which battery is used
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Heavy Duty can handle 500A and maybe more

Very good relay for adding more than one battery to your vehicle. A Chinese branded product from eBay was used and caught fire. This is designed for 500 A plus

Pros
  • Handles 500A continuous current
Cons
  • -

Great while it lasts!

When it worked it was great! Stops working after a week! I used this to turn off the inverter, now I had to reposition the car so I could turn the inverter on and off manually. It was a disappointment.

Pros
  • AV Accessory
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks

Save time, buy a fuse

This thing worked fine for about 0 seconds. Do yourself a favor, get a power system with all kinds of batteries (I have 4 XS950 amps, two in the trunk, two under the hood) and none of these are needed. When selecting the batteries, make sure that the voltage is the same throughout the vehicle!

Pros
  • Car Electronics Accessory
Cons
  • Out of Fashion

First impression good

I installed this to isolate the audio amps in my van and drain the battery if left connected. I hope 500 amps is enough to feed them. That's a lot cheaper than new amps. I've attached a schematic in case anyone gets it without. Unlike some others, this relay/solenoid is not self-grounding and requires both positive (ignition source) and negative (battery or chassis ground) wires.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • High price
