This is what I found for the...

PowerSeal Family

RoHS Certified

800 A in rush, 150 A carry

This contactor is sealed IP66/67 and a great value for many applications

Intermittent Duty

  • Carry Current 150 Amps, Inrush 800 Amps
  • Available in 12 or 24 Volts
The power you need for high amperage applications along with the sealed construction gives the PowerSeal its name. The PowerSeal’s unique design gives it the longevity to last and be used in the harshest environmental conditions. Intermittent duty PowerSeals are used on hydraulic power packs, RVs, heavy truck starting and grid heaters, and lawn and garden applications.

For those who are curious and so that information can be found in one thread;
the stancor is rated for 200 amp carry and 600 amp inrush.

Nice job on the install. It is coming along well.

I see that heater hose standoff strap DanV was/is looking for. Relay looks like a keeper. Think I'll buy one and help keep the economy going too. Nice Work.

You used the intermiitent one .most are using the continuous solenoid. .the continuous uses less than 1 am. The intermiitent uses like 3 amps? Wouldnt continuous be easier on battery?

Nice work Chris! Why did you choose this over the Stancor? I went with the Stancor when my GPR died. Just curious...
