There is much more to the reason I chose the relay that I did. If you do some research, you would understand why.
Some people just don’t want to change anything. That’s fine too.
It’s a shame that some only bash or put down others ideas in the forums(rather than try to understand).
If you want people to understand, how about explaining your reasons instead of simply dismissing those who don't "understand"? It shouldn't be difficult to share your research and your reasoning, and it would be far more beneficial to the SS audience than simply expecting people to take your word for it.
But the fact is, some of us
do understand (I have a fancy piece of paper and a 37 year engineering career that say I know something about electricity) , and aren't convinced of the need for a 100 amp relay for a circuit that draws 9 amps. Relays just aren't all that complicated.
And, since many people get along fine for decades with the stock GM relay, and some others still have run-on with the 100 amp relay, the data doesn't seem to support the massive overkill approach with its hazard of the exposed contacts.
A cutoff switch on the output of the relay where the driver can quickly get to it would be better insurance against a stuck starter relay.
