Anyone seen these before? I wouldn't expect much for the price, but from other posts, people seem happy enough with supercheaps/jacar ones. Also the 100 amp continuous sounds good...

I've seen similar things in Supercheap. ;) It doesn't look like the most well made or reliable way to do dual batteries though...

Yep, I was right.

Go to the battery section in Supercheap and find where they have all the heavy duty replacement battery terminals and leads. You'll most likely find exactly the same looking solenoid, but continuously rated for 200 Amps and only $27. ;)

XD falcons run them, they are the starter solinoid to the starter motor. I have set them up for duel bats before and they work well.

The starter solenoid in a falcon Physically is the same, but is only rated for a short period of time, probably about one minute. If used as a dual battery solenoid they will burn the coil out very quickly.

Supercheap have both, constant duty and starter solenoids. They are both around $30, but I can buy a redarc (or similar brand) constant duty solenoid for about $34, so I wouldn't buy a supercheap one.
