Re: solenoid setup, KCs.
ive read alod of things like this, this was on a jeep forum.
i guess solenoids wont drain your battery when vehicle is parked and is generally easier on the truck
"I prefer a constant-duty solenoid over a starter solenoid. Starter solenoids
can "pop" when they get hot from constant use and then you're in the same boat
as with a cheap relay - no power.
Constant duty solenoids are commonly used for running a charging wire to a
trailer or camper battery (only "on" when ignition is on so you won't draw down
your starting battery), which I think is a good feature for high-draw offroad
lights. They are a few dollars more than a starter solenoid, but worth it.
Available at any good auto parts counter, NAPA, trailer supply stores, etc."
