When installing a 10 plate dry cell is it necessary to install a constant duty solenoid? I am going to install a 30 amp breaker then a relay and PWM before my cell.
Thanks and have a Blessed day,

Yes, i think i understand what your doing, you want the CDS between the battery and the cell.

I only use that type of solenoid when i am wiring the unit directly to the battery-which is almost never.
The relay will do just fine with the circuit breaker. I like the idea of using the circuit breaker instead of a fuse.

Where do you get a 12 volt cucuit breaker?
If its a 30 amp 120 volt breaker im would not think that would work. I think that would be = to a 300 amp breaker on a 12 volt system.
