SouthernDevGirl,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I'd agree with you it would work if the trigger-on and cut-off voltages are significantly different, then the flip/flop will not occur.
As a matter of fact, before I decided to go with the Victron ArgoFET isolator, I had been seriously thinking about using this one
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09Q27WCHM/ (Its the 2nd of the 4 I had listed above).
It shows Trigger ON voltage at $13.3v, Cutting-OFF voltage at 12.8v,
but I saw it it has a review showing it quickly failed at 120 amp.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-revie...USBVTVJ98/
I think it is worth giving it a try if you could recommend something similar but of better quality, although I think it has another potential shortcoming is that being a coil/magnetic-driven mechanism, it consumes electricity itself in order to sustain electrical contact. I have seen such a relay consumes about 1-2 amps to keep closed.
