Well, he can also fully charge the battery he has. No cost at all, and I would bet it will solve his problem (as long as the solenoid contacts haven't permanently welded).

My opinion is based on years of experience, no one has to take my advice, in fact, I always tell people to never take advice from strangers on the internet.

I might add, you are using ohms law for a resistive load, but a motor is an inductive load, so you should use P=IE or to transpose for current, I=P/E

Good luck, sorry I rubbed you the wrong way, Rg
