Solenoid Question

[Muddog]

Are ya'll using standard 48V heavy duty solenoids?
Mine failed about a week after lithium install.
It don't click no mo.
Do I need one rated for higher voltage?
If so, which one?

Are you running 48 volt lithium? If so a heavy duty, 48 volt, 200 amp solenoid is all you need. You can go higher amperage but voltage is still the same.

You say it doesn't click. Are you sure it is the solenoid? Do you have 48 volts to the coil when you push the go pedal?
