These critters can handle 400 amperes without a whimper but the mounting base must see a good chassis negative ground. From practical experience, I can state this solenoid will heat the copper studs to beyond 130F if energized longer than 30 seconds. A starting-only option.
I watched a guy in absolute panic trying to get his hood open because he'd folded up a bit of paper and wedged it into the 'momentary' switch to hold it open so his converter would charge his dead chassis battery.
The solenoid had gotten hot enough to start some insulation on the wiring smouldering.
