    Mystery Object ...

    I found this in my battery box when I recharged the battery...





    The heavy-duty wiring connects to the battery via a 'resistor? and then to a looong wire not connected anywhere. The lighter weight wires are earthed (the black, not surprisingly) and then another looong wire.

    What is it?

    My first guess is a controller (solenoid?) of some sort for a dual battery setup, given the weight of the wires.
