Volt Contactor Amp Draw
Does anyone know what the amperage draw of the Chevy Volt contactors is? Both peak and hold? I don't have a bench supply to test mine, and I plan on using them for Chademo charging.
If at first you don't succeed, buy a bigger hammer.

This means they had to use one of theese on + line and another on - side. Together you get 240A rating for system with 800A for a burst of power.
Contactor pulls 0.5A when active.
