[QUOTE="Rob., post: 442593, member: 27131"] The current carrying capacity is exactly the same AC or DC. The reason items of equipment come with a DC rating is due to the nature of DC. It likes to produce an arc when broken under load. So DC rated equipment usually has larger contact separation or forms of arc quenching. From those batteries at 12V possibly 24V DC the seperation in the contacts will be more than good enough to extinguish the arc. [/QUOTE]
