Solenoid between the chassis batteries and the generator battery

[mrkane1952]

My local NAPA stocked a replacement relay which is externally the
same, NAPA-Echlin ECH ST84. The solenoid is marked "50-12V"
and "6AC." This resembles the markings on my original which are
only partially legible. Price ~$38.

I'm replacing it as I, too, am having generator battery charging
woes.
