Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I have done some basic research and come to the conclusion a Continuous Duty Solenoid will fit my dual battery purpose.

Can anyone advise of where abouts these can be purchased?
Im in Sydney.

i got mine from prospect auto electrical in rowood rd prospect just down the road from flower power at home base. cost me $45 works great. they are in the same units as Grumpys takeaway.

I tried a local auto electrician and he came up with the goods. $39.

Thanks for your help.

Can someone please explain the differences between the continuous duty and starter solenoids? etc...

I'm pretty sure the solenoid on my dual battery system has died, so I am looking for a replacement and didnt know what these terms meant when looking through catalouges.

Hi Dave,

The way I understand it, a Continuous Duty Solenoid is designed for heavy switching and being able to be connected continously. So its rated, for example as 100amp continuous. A Starter Solenoid is designed for heavy switching, but not being rated to be continously connected.

Therefore, a Starter Solenoid is not suitable for use in a Dual Battery installaion.

Thanks,
I visited the local Auto elec for some prices and info - $40.
He said a same thing, just adding that starter solenoids have a duty cycle.
