Default Re: Battery tag spot welder.

A heavy duty mechanical relay should be fine if generously sized, but may not give such accurate time control, as neither the pull in nor the release times are accurately known/repeatable.

To guard against the relay contacts welding or sticking I would prefer to use two relays with the power circuit contacts in series. Preferably with some form of monitoring to warn of stuck or welded contacts on either relay.
