Can anybody tell me where can I buy what is called a continuous duty solenoid (see pic). I want to use it to isolate power to the back of my bakkie when the ignition is switched off and have the power available to the firsge when the ignition is on and motor running.
I dont have a second/dual battery so the national luna one wont work as it needs to sense the second battery as I am told.
I just cant find these buggers other than on ebay etc... And need it soon. You get them in different amp ratings and apparently they are used in golf carts...

Most spares shops should keep, otherwise Diesel Electric or Allmans.
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.

Het al daar a geloer en kan ok opsie wees want dit kry ek darem. Net gedink as ek die doen is dit net makliker om die 2e battery later by te sit...
Ek het een gekry by n plek want bici anders lyk maar hy word brek warm as hy langer as 20min aan is...
george wrote:Hi Piet.
Is joune die cole hersee solenoid?
Ek het geen idee. Ek het dit by n spare shop gekry en getry maar daar is geen info op die boks itv amp rating en of dit wel continuous rated is nie. Ek dink maar dis die solenoid wat ni reg is ir die toepassing hoekom hy warm word (dat ek nie daaraan kan vat) want hy word warm al trek ek geen stroom. Hul het my verseker dit sal werk maar toe nie. Dit was maar R80. 4x4 megaworld hou die ander aan maar vra my R550... Wat rof klink.
Hier onder is fotos v boksie en myne geinstalleer(wat ek nou weer sal moet uitgooi... Dammit want hy pas so lekker daar)
Ek dink nie daai is vir "continuous" gebruik nie.Kan iets wees wat vir 'n starter of so iets krag gee vir kort periode.
Kom ons hoor maar war seg die ander manne.

Dis juis hom wat ek soek maar waar kry ek die goed locally...
Het nou weer geloer en ek dink jy is reg. die een wat ek het is nie vir continuous duty. Hy is fine vir so minuut. Dan begin hy warm word. Maak mens virs as die mense wat die goed aan jou verkoop jou vrseker dit is en dan weet hul ok maar bokorol...
Nee. Dankie George!! Hulle is naby ons. As hul more oop is maak ek daar n draai. Baie dankie vd hulp en moeite. Hopelik weet hul waarvan ek praat. Nou het ek darwm die regte naam ok al!
Ek het myne by Midas gekoop in Krugersdorp vir R105. Moenie vra vir 'n relay nie - dan val die manne se brommers van die proppe af. Vra vir 'n "starter relay" vir die ou Fords of Chevs - dan weet hulle skielik waarvan jy praat. As jy nie regkom nie laat my weet dan stuur ek vir jou die part nr. Ek is ongelukkig eers oor 'n week tuis dan sal ek dit eers vir jou kan gee.

Dankie Piet. Ek sal bietjie gaan hoor. Is hul dan gerate vir continouos duty? Die een wat ek nou inhet is blykbaar vir na starter maar hy word warm na so minuu of wat as hy ingetrek bly.
It's a Solenoid, not a relay. careful of those Midas ones, they are cheap imitations of the original C-H Solenoid. I bought one a while ago and it locked, it would not release when the source voltage was removed. Diesel Electric should definitely have the correct part for you.
But I can't help wondering why a normal Hella spotlight relay will not do the job for you? It's only for a fridge, or did I miss something?

JIP, you really want the proper Cole Hearsey.
most auto electrical outlets should be able to help you.
SPARXX has branches nation wide and DO stock this (got mine from them)

Thanks FD. your right for now its only for the fridge but the previuos owner had the whole dual battery setup so all the wiring is already done up to a brad harrison plug (without a solenoid). So the idea is to just split the existing power cable without doing additional wiring and then also be sorted when the funds are there for a dual battery system (and the justification I cant find now). Will be overkill for the current problem or requirement but hopefully part of a larger plan.

Hi Wayne,
Dankie. Jy is net so bietjie ver van my af. ENige kans dat jy dit dalk sal kan pos? Laat weet wat jy soek daarvoor.
Ek was vroeer by ons diesel electrric en hul kan my ok eers oor n week of twee help want hul het nie voorraad nie... so ek sal maar die naweek nog die manual solenoid moet wees...

Het jy joun geinstaller vr die tweede battery?
Ek het nou myne klaar ingesit maar dit word ook warm na so 10minute?? Moet dit en is dit okay of mis ek iets? Ek is verseker dat die goed juis werk vir die tweede battery se laai?
Needs to be rated for continuous use. The Cole-Hershey is ideal for this - has a heavy coil inside that doesn't get hot with continued use. Maybe try yours for a while and see but keep an eye on it, if it's inadequate it will stop working - either burn out the coil or the contacts. If the contacts burn together, you will have full time connection, so that's why I say keep an eye on it (it will stop clicking when you power up).
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.

Thanks!! I have the continuous rated cole hershey in now. Rated for 85A continuous and 700A intermittent. I k ow the alternator might exceed 85A but surely not all the time??
Is the worst that can happen a messed up solenoid?? Then I might as well give it a shot and drive with it and see what happens...
Pieter, ja, the worst that can happen is a buggered solenoid, but if it's the Cole Hershey it'll be fine. Your 2nd battery will never draw anywhere near 85A, even with the fridge / freezer going and charging the battery. It would be normal for the solenoid to warm up a bit with continued use, so as George said, don't worry.
