Certainly more efficient since the switch does not
draw current to keep it closed. But the relay is
called for when it is functioning as a mini-contactor
located adjacent to the battery bus. If you can reach
a switch located there, then you could consider the
subsitution.
What do these little Bosch type cube relays draw?
Thanks, Tim Andres
About 100 mA depending on manufacturer and some
other details. These are not big energy hogs.
