I followed the link and read it. YOU CHOSE THE WRONG SOLENOID!
When energized and working for longer than 5 minutes this solenoid is GOING TO OVERHEAT IT'S MAGNETIC COIL AND BURN OUT!
This solenoid would work as a booster solenoid when emergency starting meaning jumo starting from the house batteries to the engine battery
BUT IT CAN NOT BE LEFT ON FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME! Why? Because "intermittent duty" solenoids have a heavy winding magnetic coil to pull contacts together tighter. But at a cost -- the coil winding gets hot, hotter and then burns out.
GOOGLE or eBay for a WHITE ROGERS 200 amp 12-volt relay. This is the one you need.
