You'll need to stuff two or three green Scotch Brite pads in between the battery and nearby solenoid to soak up the escaping hydrogen gas so as to prevent an explosion caused by non-Factory Mutual, non-approved-for-hazardous-locations, solenoids (regardless of duty cycle).
This might be a bit more severe than no fuel or low coolant.

Zed

They should be maroon Scotch Brite pads... Just joking, I won't go there.

The solenoids are completely sealed so they can and in most applications
are, attached to the outside of the battery box.

Years ago I got my first amateur radio VHF radio..... Now I'm talking about
close to a 50 pound box in the back of my big V8 station wagon. I had to be
very careful not to broadcast too long because the thirsty tubes in that old
45 rig could suck a battery, any battery, dry in short order. That old rig
had lots of open relay contacts and more than one Mountie lost the whole
back of his car when the spark from those relays was able to ignite a whiff
of gas from any small leak in the gas tank.

I am curious as to why explosions from the solenoids are an issue. Has there
been explosions from solenoids in the XL? Has this been a problem in other
airframes?
