It is not the charging current that goes to the battery I am speaking of. That goes through a set of contacts and should be good indefinitely. I am speaking of the current that goes from the switch to the relay coil that pulls those contacts in. That coil may not be designed for continuous use.
Re my second post: That coil can draw 5 amps or so. Your solar panels in direct sun might put out twice that but only for a few hours each day. Before 10:00 and after 2:00 you may be getting less than nothing to the chassis battery.
