ok Mark. seemed like a lot, but I believe you :) but 400 A for 1/2 sec is not really enough time to start the engine is t?
I had a cursory look this morning and found there is a sure power 1315-200 that is explicitly rated for battery "bridging" for starting (220 A cont). alistair

I have found the relay to be more robust than the spec says but YMMV. Since SurePower says their product supports starting boost I would assume they have determined that the relay can do it. Mark
